Monday

Ottendorfer Library in the East Village, NYC

Received Monday, March 19, 2007
Wednesday, March 14 - Middle 40s Jamacian nanny at Ottendorfer
Library 4pm.Ignoring 2 boys strapped into their black dual Mclaren stroller talking to her friend. The older boy (3 years old?) wanted to get out and she refused to let him, and when his initial request was ignored he began to wine and kept getting louder and louder until he hit his little brother in frustration, which only annoyed the nanny.
When she saw me staring she pretended to read to him, but didn't even
get through the book. It was horrible to witness this little boy being ignored. The library wasn't crowded and other children were walking around. She is a terrible caregiver.

This made me think of the good old days when Miss Thea was our librarian. My children adored her. Then we moved away. :0(

The key word being "Miss". Why are so many librarians old maids? I recall Miss Fritz from my school days, a real breath of frigid air.

These nannies seem to be going through the motions, in other words, being where they are supposed to be, but not engaging the child in the activities that the parents presume them to be.

I have a plan. Let me know if you are interested. I will donate via pay pal or something of the like to this site and if the moderator will okay, I will pay $20 per picture of a nanny sleeping while out with her kids. $10 for a nanny that keeps her kids stuffed in their stroller. Anyone else game?
Or perhaps we can have an inventor put an odomoter on a child's shoes so you know where your child has really been and if his/her feet ever hit the pavement. A warning beacon if the child is in the stroller for over 82 minutes.

Or perhaps, instead of using the cell phone camera, use it to call Border Patrol. If they responded, we'd rid ourselves of some of this riffraff and start to have a decent country again.

5:27 you are pathetic.

I love how everyone assumes a bad nanny is some sort of minority. There aren't any horrible white nannies? what world are you living in?

How about parents not hiring the riffraff? And do you really think the nannies who sleep, ignore the children etc. are well qualified professional nannies? Wake up! These duds do not take ECE courses, read child development books, plan all kinds of age appropriate activities for their charges etc., and that is not what their employers were looking for or they wouldn't have hired them.

Well, aml, the OP did state that the nanny was Jamaican. Wasn't that a clue? I don't disagree with 5:27 at all. The caregiver was more than likely an illegal and as for parents not hiring riffraff, that's also a good thought. Getting them deported seems to me to be killing two birds with one stone. One less illegal here and some parents learning a valuable lesson about hiring "these duds" to begin with.
