Fire her for cause. She is endangering your children.

Siri reads me my texts and I reply to them through Siri or I pull over.

Op how did you see your nanny doing so? Why didn't you call or text her asking her to pull over so you could address it immediately?

does she have voice text so she can talk and send a text instead of typing?

Of course I would.

I still don't get how anyone can text and concentrate on driving at the same time.

And a child's ..... Your child's safety is compromised at the same time OP!!

Fire her. Now.

You need to be able to have full trust in your nanny, especially when it comes to big things such as safety.
sorry for the unnecessary comma. I am not comma lady!

Nanny is texting when she drives with our daughter.. When confronted, she said : I pull over when I text. Yeah.. Sure.

Would you fire her for such a thing?


Do you really need to ask?

Even if the baby's parent texts me I wait til we're home or parked at our destination to reply. No reasonable MB would want or expect a reply while driving.




I'm a nanny and I agree 100%. You need to tell her she is no longer allowed to text when she is in the car - period - or she will be fired.

If you saw her doing it then fire her. Its illegal in most states and highly dangerous regardless of the legality.

PP here
Texting or any distracted driving is unacceptable!
Or ask her to install the texting app that disables the phone
When car is moving. It's meant for teens but could benifit
So many adults

I actually do pull over when I am
Driving and the MB texts. I have a different
Ring tone for her. I live in California
So there is almost always a shopping center
Or neighborhood to pull into
