[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nannies are employees, yes, and employees an hour long lunch break in their 9-hour shifts. Nannies typically work 10 to 12 hour shifts. To say that we should not advocate for ANY downtime is downright hypocritical and shitty. I understand the limiting TV time or junk food for only the parents, fine, but some bit of downtime is still needed by employees regardless of profession. [/quote]

On a good day at work, I get about 20 minutes "lunch break" during which I'm taking my first pee break of the day, talking to colleagues about work issues, reviewing lesson plans, running to the copy machine etc . . .

When I'm home with my kid in the summer, I get a solid hour minimum when he's asleep, plus I can put him in the stroller and take a nice long walk where I can think my own thoughts, plus I can go to the bathroom whenever I want, get a drink of cold water whenever I want, and I don't have to wait until a scheduled break to eat.  My nanny has all these privileges too.

I'm having trouble seeing nannies as deprived relative to people with other jobs.
