[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Malls, [b]book stores[/b], and coffee shops should not be nanny/child destinations.  There are libraries, parks and Rec centers all over the country that offer activities that are age appropriate and stimulating for young children. This coming from a veteran nanny, the only stores I go to with charges are grocery (for family), hardwear & garden centers, and pet stores.  I do pick up things for myself if I'm already there by parents request.  Please find more stimulating things to do with your charges than malls & coffee shops![/quote]

[b]Book store[/b]?? One of our favorite places to go!! I encourage reading with my charges and looking through books at the bookstore is a huge treat with them! It is very stimulating and educational. We keep lists of books they are excited to read together in the future, it keeps the, excited about reading!
And a stop at the coffee shop (coffee for me, milk for young charge) is a nice break when we are out and about and something she looks forward to once in a while. Seeing "real world" places is educational and stimulating.[/quote]

Ditto!! I care for 3 young kids and we love the bookstore! They offer a great story time at our beautiful Barnes and Noble. They have a wonderfully kids section with trains for the youngest to play with while 4 yr old and I find books she would be interested in reading. Most book stores have large areas just for kids!! Why would this be a bad destination?!? It's fun, age appropriate, engaging, and educational...[/quote]
