[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mb's always complain of coming home to their children and how many things they have to do ..Take in mind that some nannies have children of their own...have to wake up earlier than their mb's and drop off kids to daycare..or a minders house..go to work deal with employers kids all day 10 hrs plus ...do all child related work...then go home and take care of their families...So sorry if I don't feel sorry for mb's...when all you have left to do in the evenings is prepare a meal or so...you probably would have finished eating before the nanny entered her front door...and she now had no one to clean up her kids mess and steam veggies or do her kids laundry while she was working...SO PLEASE STOP WITH I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO WHEN I GET HOME SO LET ME PLOP JUNIOR IN FRONT THE TELEVISION...you are just lazy....[/quote]

Did you read the responses? I'm 14:21 and I very specifically said if the nanny has a family of her own her day is just as hard if not harder than mine. BUT if she doesn't her evening is much easier. I was single once. I worked 12+ hour days but when I went home the only one I had to worry about was myself. I thought I was busy but I could relax and rest every night. I had no idea what busy was. As I said if your life is as busy as mine, I have zero issue if you need a break during the day but if you go home to be by yourself, that's your time breaktime and you don't need to plop my kids in front of the tv while you are working.

So you hire only single childless nannies, or what? You're overstepping your boundaries if you think it's your business to know, what a nanny does (or doesn't do) when she leaves your child.[/quote]

Please stop trying to argue with me. We aren't on different sides here. Where did I saw I only hire single nannies? Our last nanny (before we moved) was with us for a year and had 3 children of her own. I used to tell her all the time how hard I knew it was for her because she obviously worked longer hours than I did and also went home to 3 children. She would then tell me she thought I had it harder because my 3 were younger than hers. The point is we both respected each other and didn't make it a competition if whose life was harder. She never turned the tv on even once but if she had it would have been fine. What I have an issue with is if our hard working nanny with 3 of her own children can make it through a day without tv then the young single nannies who their evenings to themselves shouldn't be complaining about how hard they have it. You are right though, it really is none of my business what the nanny does in her time she's not working but I can tell you this, with all the nannies we've had through several moves none of them have ever once used the tv except when one of the kids was sick and needed a quiet day so I know those nannies are plentiful. I would pay a nanny like that MUCH more and be more flexible if they needed to be than a nanny who did turn the tv on just because she was having a busy day. [/quote]
I am a nanny who virtually *never* resorts to the idiot box, no matter what. I let parents know that right up front. If they want their child doing screen time, there's no sense in wasting my time with them.[/quote]
