[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg!!! How silly are some of you. You want to tell me I can't supervise my charges and speak to my husband for 1 minute?
But I can prepare a meal, do laundry, tidy up around them, change baby's diaper, put the toddler on the potty, etc
All while I have to supervise and sometimes entertain them.
Please give me a break. I raised 4 children, and it isn't hard to multi-task. Mb's expect things done when they get home or do you use the excuse of " but I was watching the kids and playing with them". I will not let anyone cut me off from the outside world. When my charges are sick I call or text my bosses. Twice the kids fevers were very high and they came home so they could make the pediatricians office before it closes at 5. So what makes it okay for them to have jobs that allow such benefits and have them deny me the same.
I will not allow anyone to tell me I cannot speak to my family any time during my work day. It is up to me to decide if I'm too busy that I would call back during the kids nap or if it's something important that I need to handle right away.
The most that can happen is I would be fired by an awful boss who me denies me access to my family. Would that bother me? Nope because my family comes first.

No, Dear, you are the silly one.  I raised four children and am the nanny to two toddlers and NEVER ONCE had to call home or deal with any personal business while the child was awake.  NEVER.

Some of you truly are such silly little girls.  When I was a teacher we never used our phones during school hours - believe it or not - it is possible.  Being a nanny is no different.  [/quote]
