[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cell phones, texting are a normal part of everyday life.  Get used to it and you are ridiculous to say a child could be killed if a nanny texts.  You cannot stop texting.[/quote]

Yes you can.  I am a nanny and I have never once texted anyone in the 15 years I have been working.  I accept and make calls to my employers and no one else during business hours.  You are clearly have a problem if you think it is impossible to keep your mind and eyes on your charges at all times.

A bunch of silly, silly girls on this forum who have no business working in any field but especially not child care until they grow up.  [/quote]
What do you do when your charges friends parent calls or texts you about a play date ? What If music class gets cancelled and you don't get the call, email or text? What about school closures, a child getting sick or hurt at school or a friends home ? I have gotten so many of these calls, texts and emails over the years. I also need my smart phone to do my job to check my email and for gps. I've had older charges go home on the bus with friends who then I need to go pick up and on the fly I need to use my phone to find the house. So many situations. Yes these are all work situations but it can add up to a lot of phone use. None of it personal. But you say you won't do that, you only make and receive calls from your employers. [/quote]
