then why all the complaining about being around young kids while on the nanny job?



Sweetie, go back and read the comments slowly and carefully. You misunderstood the entire point of the thread.


it's not about the charges! it's about finding silent time on your smartphone to b!tch on DCUM and get paid for it! sucker NF.


Ignore this troll. She is stunningly stupid.

I love silent weekends! Just me and books. I am one of those people who need alone and silent time to recharge. Come Monday morning, I am ready for pretend-play!

Wow, PP, you are angry and nuts! OP is talking about weekends and the desire for quiet when not working.

I honestly have no clue what you are babbling about.

Uhg playing pretend is the worst! My bff who is also a nanny agrees. We love taking care of children and doing lots of activities with them, but "pretend" is godawful. Turns my brain to mush.

Huh? No adult plays pretend games in daycare or day camp.

at least they have engagement with other kids or the instructors. you all sound like you want to "sit in silence" while you ignore your charge. nice.


You are either stunningly stupid or just a lonely, bored troll. Either way, step away from your phone and go get yourself a little life.

What do you do to stop the torture?! Please share.


Not PP, but I suggest other things, set a timer for how long I will play (not how long the child may play!), or I start doing something else, and the child comes and joins me. Getting out a crayon and coloring is a great way to smoothly transition to a different activity!

Thanks so much for the suggestions! I think I’ll try the timer.
