Did you put that in your agreement?

You have to wonder if extreme isolation is what can cause a person to suddenly "snap"?
Thoughts?
Melodramatic nonsense. Working a long day with a small child is not "extreme isolation" and any nanny who would "snap" is a terrible nanny who should find another profession.
Likewise, some parents should not be left to do the job of parenting.
Hello, Nanny.

Nonsense. Stop being so melodramatic and childish.
I bet you're guilty as charged.
I bet you have a double digit IQ.

Certainly no problem there.

What I do NOT want is her on the phone to her friends and boyfriend when she is working.
+ 1 If I catch our DD's nanny on her phone one more time she will be fired. We have given her three separate warnings and the last time told her of the consequences. I am so sick of seeing nannies on their phones that I could scream.
If you are at work you feel it is fine for you to be on DCUM? U ou should be fired.
I wasn't at work when I posted, Dear. And I am the boss - not the nanny. I can fire whomever I choose for whatever reason I see fit.

Stay at home moms spend endless stretches of time w/o adult interaction. Professional nannies can spend years choosing to work primarily with infants, and therefore primarily w/o significant adult interaction during their workdays.
Why are you looking for a fight?
I said SOME adult interaction.
And no, parents do NOT spend 10-12 hrs/day in isolation with a baby.
