Central Park/E. 77th Street Playground in NYC

Received Monday, August 27, 2007
This happened on Friday, Aug 24th but I just read about your blog on AOL news. This occurred at the Central Park/E. 77th St. playground. If you have a little boy named Leon who is about three years old and goes to Kidville Camp (he was wearing one of their t-shirts), this is YOUR nanny! The Nanny was completely asleep in a lying position on a bench. Not nodding off in a sitting position, SLEEPING. The kid was running all around completely unsupervised. Your diaper bag made for a great pillow for her. PLEASE, if you are familiar with Kidville camps or know a 3 year old named Leon, alert the parents! This little boy could have left the park, been injured, been abducted or worse. It is much to horrible to even consider. Do you know why the sleeping nanny woke up? Some other mother (or maybe a nanny) tried to snap a picture of her with her cell phone! She may have even got one. I don't know!

people watch for fools like her in order to abduct children. Thank the Lord - He was watching!

Um...yeah...how asleep could she have *really* been, if it took nothing more than someone pointing a cell phone camera at her to get her attention? Obviously she must have been more aware/awake, than she looked...eh?

should she be asleep at all?
should she be laying down on the job?
are you an ass or a psycho?
stop defending these nannies!

I think the nanny awoke coincidentally. the woman who was gearing in to take her picture changed the tone of everything going around. when the nanny woke up, i immediately looked away like I didnt know what was going on.

Let me guess, you are the one who also though the disgusting sitter in the tub was a OKAY?

Why don't you report this to Kidville Camp (212-362-7792 or mayor.uws@kidville.com) I am sure they know who the boy & his family is.

To 10:01....Actually, the post up there is my first post *ever* here, I've never posted here before that first post up there in this thread, today. I do check out this site frequently (usually at least once a week), as I have a lot of friends who employ nannies, and I also employ my own experienced sitter for my children, my 2 yr old daughter, and my 8 yr old son, 4-6 times a month, depending...and am a stay at home mom of 2 who likes to keep check that none of the nannies, or children that I know, wind up on here.(oh, I guess I should stick with the acronyms used here, so SAHM w/2, 1boy, 1 girl)

Since I'm not a regular poster here (yet) I'll just have to wait for ~*you*~ to decide whether I'm an "ass" or a "psycho"...won't I? Or a "psycho-ass" or an "asshole-psycho", whichever y'all deem fitting, for the noob amongst you...coming in here and upsetting the fine balance of your blog space. Isn't that the way it goes? I'm used to reading the snark here, but didn't expect it on my very first civil post out. (Oh, silly silly me) No matter.

However, since you accused me of such, I wasn't "defending" the nanny. All I said was it didn't seem from how the OP described the incident, that the woman was actually "sleeping". (imo, it reads more like she was taking a lying down break, and probably not watching her charge as well as she should have been. Never once did I say I agreed with the way she was, or wasn't, doing her job...merely that it seemed she was probably more aware/awake than the poster originally claimed she was, since she immediately noticed someone with a cellphone)

As to your accusation that I was the other person who posted about the tub, you couldn't be more wrong. #1, as I already explained to you, my post in this thread was my first post ever here. #2, I thought the girl in the tub was a completely inappropriate idiot, who probably shouldn't be anywhere near children...especially since she goes along with video taping them nude in a bathroom. Even if this was a completely innocent thing, and they just did it out of stupidity/not knowing any better...even in *that* case, what message is she sending that child? Cause shes definitely setting her up to get sexually abused by her actions...because if she is really the sitter/nanny person, the kid *will* come away from that thinking theres just nothing wrong with "a friend" or whoever, getting you nude while they're in charge, and then having a third party video tape it. (If thats not a family member, and her parents were/are unaware of it, then she really ought to be prosecuted, imho)
So, to sum up, right out the gate you've decided that I'm either an ass or a psycho, and you've also accused me of being someone else here whom you've apparently decided you don't like *~either~*, and are champing at the bit to get a lb. or two of flesh. I don't suppose theres any way you could be convinced to take a step back and reassess how to welcome people to a party, eh? Oh well, bring on the snark appetizer, thats much more exciting than simple interaction anyway. Make sure you don't forget to add a little cilantro.

12:36, wow!

OP, this sounds like an awful nanny. I'd sure want to know about this if he were my child.

Leah from Julian, CA-
Welcome.
You cannot get offended, especially late at night. Most of the people commenting now are a bunch of winos.

Caali mom, are you Cali mom?

1:03, who's asking?

Anonymous said...

Thank you for the kind welcome, ma wino!

I wasn't offended. More erm...surprised, at the immediate curse out, over ~nothing~. (but if the cause really is just drinking though, then some of the posters here must just be drunk all damn day too, from what I've seen.)
=0)

Leah, do people in California say y'all? Hopefully, you weren't serious with that y'all. I mean, I'm just hoping you weren't.

Anonymous said...

leah, jeez. i guess by not posting up until now you've had a lot bottled up -- 'cause thaat was one rambling, box-o-crazy post.

Anonymous said...

Wow Leah...not off to the best start here are ya?

Just a little advice, be extra nice to Cali Mom...she can make your life hell!

At least she likes to think she can!

Anonymous said...

LOL 6:55, it sure sounds like I've hit one of YOUR favorite nerves ;)

Anonymous said...

Cali Mom...was that a sexual comment? YIKES!

Anonymous said...

Wait a minute here. Leah? LEAH? Are you THE Leah because there are a lot of women on here looking to get hooked up with those fab hoodies you wear!

Anonymous said...

Jeez Cali Mom. I know trying to make people look as if they are beneath you is kind of your thing, but is it really important enough to you to resort sexually harassing other commenters? That comment was beyond crass!

Anonymous said...

Wow, seems some people here are so sex starved you can't even say boo without them reading something sexual into it. Too funny!

Anonymous said...

Leah, I want one of your really hip hoodies.
Don't be afraid to de-ball anyone, so go on bite!

Anonymous said...

Except that, Cali Mom, you did not say Boo. You said 'your favorite nerve.' If that is not sexual then what on Earth did you mean (BTW I did not post either of the ealier comments, but I was thinking it too).

Anonymous said...

5:10 I want one of those hoodies, but not quite bad enough to see someone "de-balled."

Anonymous said...

Been wonering about this hoodie everyone is on about. Is that some sheeshee designer all the rich bitch types here like to burn their money on to impress the neighbors?

Anonymous said...

And what is "de-balling"?

Anonymous said...

By yelling up a storm, Leah is de-balling whoever pissed her off. You know how 6:55pm for instance warned Leah about Cali mom, telling Leah to be extra nice to Cali mom: Well 6:55 is implying that Cali mom has some humongous balls. I think Leah, and any of the alpha posters can take down (aka de-ball) Cali mom whenever they want to. That is what de-balling means :)

9:53: Do you seriously not know who Leah Remini is?

Anonymous said...

do you really think leah remini is sitting on this nanny web-site writing blogs...def someone who wants to be her

Anonymous said...

Okay enough with the Leah stuff. Someone made an odd refernece to a nanny NOT wearing a Leah Remini hoodie (meaning she was wearing a big bulky hoodie I assume)in another post. I, yes me, jokingly replied "Leah Remini has a line of hooides?" and all hell broke loose with the Leah Remini hoodie stuff! Leah Remini does not, to my knowledge, really have a hoodie line. This snowball was hilarious, but I had to say something before I saw Leah Remini on TV talking about this craziness or something!

I know many of you are just joking and playing along, but a few of the comments sounded as if they thought it was real.

Anonymous said...

So she doesn't have a hoodie line? That's bittersweet. The good thing is that your feedback should help those who really want the Leah Remini hoodies realize that there is no such thing right now, and maybe they can all move on. The sad thing is that there are no Leah Remini hoodies.
