[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people keep bringing up being on their phones? A professional nanny will not be on their phone all day while the children are awake. They might perhaps have a phone conversation when pushing a baby in a stroller while out on a walk, and hearing you talk is good for them. Otherwise, a professional nanny will only be on their phone during naps or for brief moments during the day do check in with parents, take pictures for parents, use their phone for music, buy tickets for the zoo, log baby's info in a baby app, etc. [/quote]

But we have an Alexa in every room  for music, are happy to handle tickets for you upon request, and prefer a handwritten log.  Both parents WFH so check-ins can be done if we want at regularly scheduled intervals.  I don’t need pictures of my kid - in fact, I prefer not to receive them - and I don’t pay you to chat while on a stroll.  It’s been researched and narrating your movements and what you see directly to my child is more beneficial than hearing you talk.

Finally, at $30/hour, aside from your legally mandated break (half hour) during naps, you should be doing child related chores and preparing activities for them to do, not sitting on your phone.  What you describe is worth less than $25/hour to me.  And that’s fine but let’s not act like any of the above results in minimal phone use.[/quote]
