"We came here to swing, now swing". sitter
"It's all wet" girl age 3ish
"You have five minutes to swing or you are going home" sitter
"But I will get wet" girl age 3
"girl, I didn't come all the way over here to hear more whining" sitter
"can we wipe it off" girl age 3
"You go on, wipe it off" sitter
"With what" girl age 3
"Oh hell." sitter as she grabs swing and shakes it off spraying child and herself with water. Then she uses her shirt to pat out the rest of it. The child just stands there and the sitter says, "go one now, you know you better swing now".
The little girl looks like she wanted to burst in to tears.
This was this morning around 930. The little girl wore red pants and a light pink jacket with a very identifiable hot pink liner inside the jacket. You should know the child by the jacket without me having to identify the sitter. If I did, I would not have kind words to use. Re examine who you are leaving your little girl with!
i can so totally pictue that tone and that behavior. she's 3. not ten. wipe the damn swing off for her.

ReplyDeleteAs someone who has been a nanny it makes my heart break to hear such stories. Not only that but it also makes it hard for those in this profession. Why become a nanny if you can't take a breather and come up with another way of handling the situation. My heart is sad.
ReplyDeleteAwful story but with no further description of the nanny or child the parents have no way at all of knowing who it was and if it was THEIR child and nanny. They should know about this!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, "very identifiable hot pink liner" ? Like, this little girl happens to own the ONLY light pink jacket with hot pink liner? You've got to be kidding me.
ReplyDeletei have seen some very identifiable liners in my day. for instance i saw a satin blue tiger spotted liner on the inside of a little girl's leather coat. if i were describing that girl and her coat liner, i would call that a very identifiable liner. a pink liner is not that identifiable. jeez-give these posters some credit for trying to describe strange situations. most people wouldn't and don't take the time. (and that's a shame)
ReplyDeleteshe might be the only girl at that park on that date at 930 who was 3 yerars old who owns a pair of red pants.
ReplyDeleteseriously, oh vey!
