Heck yes I'd want to know re: the dozing off part especially.

Saying that to excuse every bad nanny out there really doesn't achieve what you're hoping it will. There are bad nannies out there, just like there are bad employees in any field. My coworker dozes off in half of our meetings - does that mean he's not a "real" employee? He must be a temp, right? Cuz only temps doze on the job? Well, payroll doesn't see it that way. Not in my field and not in yours.

I'm a nanny and I think you should tell her. There's a lot that could go wrong. She can do whatever she wants with the information but at least she'll know.

Sounds like a sitter, not a nanny.

Yes, I would let the mother know for sure.

Then it is entirely up to her if she wants to keep this lazy nanny or not.

Every self-described nanny on this thread said to tell the mother.

Reading comprehension is not your forte, is it?

Yes, I am a nanny and I would tell the mother that her child's nanny was neglecting her.

Troll? Why?

Tell her and get over yourself, troll.

Yes, I would want to know. Sleeping in public while a charge wanders around unattended in dangerous.

No one cares. A nanny is not there to babysit you kid 24/7. He was safe and sound at Barnes and Noble, they got home safe and sound too. Why stir up trouble?

At Barnes and Noble she was dozing off on the chair while my child and yours played.
The kids were playing well together but the place was crowded. He walked from the train table to the story time circle and back a few times then nanny woke up and started browsing on her phone.

Do you want me to contact you about it? We're acquaintances, not friends and we've had opposing points of view in a few discussions in our local list serve.

If it were you would you say something? Would you want to know?
