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.

But it is ok for you to be posting on DCUM while at work, thus screwing your emoyer out of work time. Hypocrite.

Funny.

I am a nanny and this is not at all hypocritical. An employer can demand you do any number of things that he/she doesn't do. I think nannies would do themselves a huge service if they would understand that simple point as it is applicable in ALL fields.

Psst, you aren't a nanny at all.

Yes, I am a nanny.

A nanny and a grown-up. This is simply life in the working world. Your boss/owner of the company gets to do lots of things the employee doesn't get to do. Not the least bit hypocritical - simply the way of the world.

While I agree, I am thankful I can up and quit any job I am unhappy at. I work with newborns and infants but I will not work with a family that won’t let me leave the house. Babies need interaction and so do adults. Hence baby lap time is filled with nannies and mothers of newborns and infants.
