[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an excellent nanny. I use my phone the same way most parents use theirs--to send and receive texts/emails that are necessary or important, to take pics, to look things up...I don't force myself to never look at it, because I am a human being. Amazing how many hyper controlling moms on here.[/quote]

I am a nanny and carry a flip-phone when I am working that only my employers have the number to.  Obviously I receive no other texts or calls but from the parents when I am with their child.  It is not difficult at all!  You are working - so work!  If I need to make appointments during working hours, I use my break time when the children are napping.  When I nanny for children who are too old to nap, I take a few seconds when they are actively engaged in something IN THE HOUSE and take the few seconds necessary to make my call.  If I need to look something up, I use the house computer (again - in the home and not outdoors or in public when I should have my eyes on the children at all times).

Am I hyper controlling of myself?!  LOL  No, Sweetie, I am simply a grown-up and a professional.  [/quote]

Only your employers have the number to the phone you carry all day? Do you not have any family that may need to get in touch with you in an emergency?[/quote]
