I'm a nanny on "The Hill" in DC- went to Lincoln Park today just to sit with my charges since it was so nice! Group of nannies all sitting together on benches on other side, one in particular, who had 2 seemed to be toddler age children sat there while one child just kept screaming because wanted to get out of the stroller and eventually, the other started screaming crying because probably tired or hungry. What gets me is, she just sat there because she wanted to continue to talk with friends, obviously not wanting to leave!
I think this is really a shame, because the nanny job market is pretty tough right now for those of us who really enjoy it, because there are many who take the job, but really don't even care for it! So sad for all of us who really enjoy children and want to respect them, their parents and the schedules these children need to stick too!
