I know many people think that I saw your nanny should be about negative nanny sightings, but no where in the title do I see that. With that said, I wanted to take the time to mention a great nanny I saw today (Monday 12/11) . I was in Gymboree for free play (at 10:30 a.m.)with the little boy that I nanny for when I observed the love and care that this nanny was giving to her charges. The children were named Annika (who was about 3 or 4) and Ronan ( Around 2 or 3) and did not look related to eachother. The nanny was African American and wearing jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt material shirt. Her interaction with the children was better then some of the mother's that I see there. She was playing with both children equally and had them playing together nicely. You could tell these children adored their nanny. What also caught my attention was what she told another mother. The mother had mentioned that it was very warm in there, and the nanny told her that she agreed but the Gymboree that she used to take the children to (which is about 30 minutes away) was far too warm. One day she looked at the thermostat and it had read 80 degrees and that was when she decided to switch them to this Gymboree. Now this is an assumption, so I hope noone jumps all over me on this, but I'm guessing that the familes live near Milford, the location of the other Gymboree, which means that she travels that extra half of an hour just so they can play and not get overheated. I just couldn't help but post about this good nanny, because being a good nanny myself, I know one when I see one!
zzzzzzzzzz boring!
ReplyDeleteNo, not boring ignorant one.
ReplyDeleteThe poster brought up something very important about this blog which is often overlooked and that is, that the name of the blog is NOT negative. Yes, reports of questionable behavior by nannies or other caretakers are sought in an effort to help and protect children; however, testimonials about good nanny behavior are encouraged and shared here as well.
Most working moms with nannies are happy and relieved to hear good things about the care their children are receiving. My guess is that the zzzzzzz responder doesn't have a nanny, and enjoys reading about bad nannies so she can feel smug about staying home.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post.
I am the original poster and I take offense to the person who commented "zzzz boring". How dare you come here and comment on a nice nanny siting! Thank you to the two previous commenters for sticking up for me. I'm sorry (sarcastically if you don't catch on sleepy one)that I don't have a more interesting siting for you, but if I'm not mistaken, this site is not to entertain you, it's to inform people who actually care.
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that this nanny took initiative.
ReplyDeletezzzzzz again
