This person is not a professional.

There is no such thing g as a "professions" nanny. Professionals have licenses, e.g., doctor's, lawyers, engineers, architects, beauticians, estheticians, nurses, etc. There is no license necessary to be a nanny and no educational qualifications.

Urgent... you again... please explain "professional athletes", "professional models", etc. And what about artists and actors? Those aren't professions?
We all know you, Dear. You aren't a nanny and cannot afford to hire a nanny.

For the record, I ama professional nanny. Being a nanny is my profession.

Professional athletes have legally enforceable contracts worth millions of dollars, $125 million for Derek Carr. You, my dear, are an at will employee and are nothing more than the help.

Oh goodness, I am an MB and this is absurd. We all know what is meant by "professional nanny." This is a career nanny who takes her job seriously, is invested in the well being and education of the children, and shows up to work ready to give 100% to the kids. These "other" nannies show up just for the money and do the bare minimum; they view their job as keeping the kids alive until mom and dad gets home.

They are always texting, checking Instagram & Snapchat.

Agreed. If they grew up with smartphones this is their normal. Last time I booked a sitter, I booked her 30 min early to show her around our house. When we were done, she promptly pulled out her phone.

+1 We would not hire a young nanny for this reason alone. I think it is an addiction.

People throwing around the word "professional" and online "degrees" are the worst things that have happened this profession.

What's up with dissing online degrees? I am finishing up an online bachelor degree program. I have also been to school in person. Online is just as hard. My lectures are videotaped and then I need to watch them and answer discussion questions, write papers, all the same things I did in person. Some of my classmates are in person students and they get the same work, and they have open book online tests just like the online students. Just because this nanny is lazy doesn't mean all people with online degrees are unqualified for their jobs.

Perhaps your program is equally as challenging as the regular, in-person program, but that is often not the case. Plenty of online programs were created just to make money -- they will accept anyone into their program for the $, but the quality of the program is sub-par. Online degrees are becoming more common in my field, but you cannot get a job with them. It's really a huge scam.

Are you referring to online private colleges? My degree will be from a CA state college and won't say "online" on the diploma. But now I am a bit worried about getting a job after college! I am studying sociology as it is...

This is crazy. Find a better nanny.

Agreed. She should WANT to bond and connect with your children. You shouldn't have to micromanage a professional nanny. I may need to use my phone for various reasons throughout the day and don't need my boss telling me that it is off limits, but I fully engage my charges and keep phone use (as I believe all adults should do when around children) to a minimum. You may need to correct a new nanny, or guide her in the ways you'd prefer Hingis to be done, but telling a nanny to bond with and engage your children!?! That's nuts. I'd replace her.

Fire her and start over. Make sure all applicants are aware of your no phone rule. You

I think we all understand this to mean someone who does this as a career.

Well there is a difference between a career nanny versus someone who is doing it to earn extra money while also going to school for something else. I would have different expectations for those scenarios.
