Best advice.  These young girls are truly ridiculous.

Agree, a mature professional nanny knows the different between using the cell phone to quickly plan a playdate, check the weather, or send a photo VERSUS gabbing for 15-30++ minutes while caring for a child, at the park, or browsing the web on her phone.  If appointments or personal plans need to be made during "office hours" do so during the 1-3 hours of naptimes.  Nothing is more telling than your toddler walking around the house with a phone or remote babbling away since she saw her nanny doing it all day.

Same as in any profession, don't use your personal phone for more than a couple minutes of social or personal use while on the clock.

BTW, one can go to ANY park or library in the DC area and tell immediately what nannies are engaged with their children and which ones are playing about on their personal cell phones. The age pattern is readily visible. [/quote]
