Actually, PP, you really aren't very good at identifying posters. I know because you once wrongly accused me of not being a nanny or employer as well. I think you just like to do that to silence people you disagree with. That's fine, but divest yourself of the notion that you are good at identifying posters. You really aren't.

Back to OP's question. OP, this subject comes up a lot here and you can find a lot of threads on it. It seems like more NFs don't mind than those who have an issue with it, but you won't know for sure until you ask your NF and see how they feel about it. If they have cams, they probably already know what you're doing. But I bet if your were proactive and asked them about it, they would probably reassure you that it's fine.

No decent MB (no decent human being for that matter) would care if the nanny took one 20 minute break in a nine-hour day to lie down on the floor of her child's room and stretch her back!!! If she dozes off - so what?

If your employers would begrudge you one break, OP, they are vile individuals and you'd be better off being fired.

I agree that OP is not asking for much. That being said, a former MB years ago was psycho and that was one of the complaints she had about me. Which is why I said some MBs would care.

I do not lie about things like that.

It's funny though - you're on DCUM tonight as well. Hypocrite.

The fact is, sleeping on the job is unprofessional. As an MB, I pay you to watch my child. Not to sleep. Why don't you get another job? Right - because no other boss would pay you to nap.

You are NOT a MB.

It's easy to spot who you are because your writing style is similar as are the times you post. You aren't an employer or an employee.

I've said this before and I will say it again...

To anyone who is on here who actually recognizes the writing style of another poster, take this as a sign that perhaps you spend a little too much time on this forum and should spread your wings and actually leave your computer screen and venture out of your four walls and go outside and interact with some "real" people, not just cyber people.

It's okay to talk to cyber friends and all, but a nice and healthy balance should be in place. When you find yourself completely immersed with only cyberbuddies so much that you can identify those by their so called "writing styles," then you need to get out more.

You are generally wrong in your assumption, PP. I can identify a writing style of one individual (by mistakes) nine times out of ten if I only read their posts one other time. Most people make the same grammar, syntax and/or punctuation errors continually.

Most other jobs don't require you to regularly work 50-60 hrs a week with no real breaks. I'm a former nanny who is a Social Worker in New York. In my cushy office Social Work office job I work an average of 8 hours a day with at least a required 30 min lunch break, but we often take 60 mins. Basic required hours are 35 hours a week. I can go out to my car and sleep during that 30-60 mins if I feel like it. I also receive flex time which makes it easy to schedule appointments without missing work and leave early of Fridays if I've worked extra on other days, 12 sick days, 22 vacation days, 6 personal days and 12 Holiday days a year.

First, yes you are lying.

Second, I am currently earning $22 an hour while my charges are sleeping and DH is home making a romantic midnight supper for us.

Third, you are an angry, sad little woman who has never had an nanny and can't afford one. You aren;t paying me anything because you could never afford me.

Fourth, I have to go take my nap now.

I do love my "unreal" job!!!

She needs to go to bed earlier in the evening and be 100% on the job.
She can relax watching tv, reading a book or whatever.
But sleeping is not professionnal and shows lack of responsability.

It's fine if you feel that way, some parents don't

I work 12 hour days, and I do nap from time to time when my charges nap. Usually only when I have a headache because usually naps just make me feel groggy.

Both MB and DB have a bedroom for me to sleep in if I want to nap, so they don't mind. If they did, I wouldn't do it. They both have on hour lunches where they can sleep, work out or do as they please so they understand that I need a break sometimes.

Of course she is back. Do you think she has any friends or a husband to take her out tonight?! Please - all she has is sad little laptop diatribes and her hatred of nannies.
