Two African American Nannies having an explicit conversation peppered with foul language and crude sentiment while supervising the children in their care. Nanny #1 had one child who was approximately three years old who was quite possibly out of earshot. Nanny #2 had a child who was possibly an 18 months who was at her feet, holding on to her knees and the stroller during the nanny's entire tirade. The nanny was attentive and sweet to the child in her care, but she did not seem to comprehend how inappropriate the language she used was. Nanny #1 was mostly just listening to nanny #1 who was angry about a problem with her sister. Nanny #2 may have been named "Pam" and was heavyset and wore black capris and a black, ribbed tank top. The little girl she was taking care of was wearing a yellow t-shirt with a silhouette of an old fashioned girl on it and white jean type pants. The child had brown hair with a pony tail gathered at the front of her head. Nanny #1 was slim with short hair, big eyes and she wore a blue sweat suit outfit (Juicy style but not Juicy). The boy she took care of was named Adam, short, buzzed hair, red shirt, blue jeans, etc.
"sweet and attentive to the child in her care." probably more important than you being too cowardly to approach these nannies in a friendly manner, and suggest that they tone done the swearing around children. if this site is really about community involvement, the viewers and contributors should recognize that being a complete busybody isn't quite the same as protecting a child from true danger.
ReplyDeleteA nanny "swearing" in front of the children is not desirable, however I fail to see how it is dangerous.
ReplyDeleteAnytime an individual has the chance to stand up for a child or to someone being unkind, it goes without saying that if you can do so immediately and in person- that is the ideal situation!
If you are witnessing someone who is abusive to a child, please contact the police or child protective services. Please take immediate action!
