[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never seen an employer say that a nanny shouldn't get an hour break. The nannies who expect to do homework, watch TV, nap or whatever for the other 2 hours a day are unprofessional and lazy.

Its reasonable that some days the child may not nap or things may get busy BUT its complete BS that there are all these infants and toddlers out there who never nap. [b]In fact, nannies are most gifted at getting kids to nap. [/quote][/b]

What [u]exactly[/u] is this respondent trying to say?? Is there some subliminal message here? How are nannies more "gifted" than say a parent in getting a child to nap?? Please elaborate because I don't get what the hell you are saying and am quite offended to tell you the truth.

I think many college students find being a nanny a great job to do while pursuing a degree. It allows them to study during nap time as well as have some flexibility regarding their hours. I think it is wonderful for families to encourage a nanny to study during the child's nap times. Families should support a nanny who is working AND going to school at the same time because that is not an easy thing to do. People should encourage others to further their educations and better themselves and for a family to allow a nanny to use a child's nap time to do her homework, that is a wonderful perk. After all, she is providing a HUGE service to the parents. She is allowing them to go to work everyday, with the security that their child is in good hands and will be fed, clean, well-rested, entertained, educated, safe and loved. Allowing an hour or two of study time is a drop in the bucket compared to what a nanny does for them.  :lol: [/quote]
