[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've tried to post some reasonable responses as a parent on this thread and it's obvious to me that some of the nannies that are responding are just on a different wavelength. We'll just have to agree to disagree in this point.

If you want an employer that's ok with you doing homework while working, then just be open about it. I'll continue to search for (and pay for) nannies that don't insist that I'm greeting my kids like a "asset" if I simply expect them to be mostly focusing on their job duties while I'm paying them.

According to the poster above, if someone is paying someone else to do something and the employer expects the employee to be doing that something while being paid, then somehow that makes the employer resentful that they are paying the employee?  That makes no sense to me at all. [/quote]

You're missing the point of my post. I pick up resentment from your tone, and that's what I commented on.  It's clear that you don't see it, and i'm okay with that. I grew up in a culture of nannies, and had one until the age of 7. I saw how my parents treated all the nannies.  Thus,  some 20 years later, when my  father passed, they came by to pay their condolences, and TRUST  and believe, none of that would have occurred if my mother or father were as off-putting as you come across to me. They treated them, with respect, and trusted their judgement .  After all, that's the reason why they were hired. You are losing sight of the fact that keeping your child safe, loved, and cared for is the main purpose of them being in your home.  if all their "tasks" are done, you would still object to them, reading the newspaper, unless it had to do with kids.  You would be great in retail, or a sweatshop.[/quote]

I wasn't the one you were commenting on.  Sorry for not being clear on that.  I'm a new poster.[/quote]
