Have asked her a couple times to limit calls to emergencies or let us know if there's an emergency which warrants a need for a call, and also to only be on phone calls (if needed) when child is napping.

Nanny is on phone and then hangs up and starts interacting with child once we come home.

Really like Nanny otherwise - she genuinely cares about child and child loves her.

But, is the phone thing (and kind of lying about being on the phone when confronted) cause for dismissal? It breaks my heart to think that my child would miss her otherwise loving Nanny. Not to mention the headache of finding another Nanny, and trusting a new one too!

Because you ARE a perfect mother and you are NEVER on the phone when you are with your child you are considering firing your nanny. Wake up Alice and land on the real world.

Oh, please. Nannies are paid employees. It's totally okay for MB to use her phone in front of child and ask nanny not to.
