I see so much negativity here and it really saddens me. I was recently at the Stop and Shop in Mamaroneck, NY and saw a wonderful nanny there. I have actually seen these two before at earlier times this time is was about 4pm on Friday the 23. The nanny is heavy but energetic that day she was dressed in dark flare jeans, a pink/white hoodie with a black jacket over your son was wearing light gray cords and an orange and dark blue t-shirt. The nanny's name is Christie and your son's name is Jack. He's very cute with a cherubic face and big blue eyes/brown hair.I saw them at different points in the store and as I said I've seen them before at this same store on a few other occasions. She truly loves your child. It's apparent in the way she speaks to him, shows him affection and engages with him. He's happy and at one point spontaneously said within my earshot "Oh Christie I love you" to which she responded "I love you too Jackie". It is just so nice to see a person who really likes her charge and seems to really enjoy his company. I hope the parents see this and know what a treasure they found. As a person who has had bad nanny experience in the past, I would love to have a nanny like this one.

I'm sorry the negativity of this site saddens you, but that's what it's all about. Your going to see sad, messed up stories about nannies neglecting and abusing kids because this is where people go to report them.
ReplyDeleteThe good side of it is when posters like you step up to help those little kids, and they can be rescued.
Thanks for the good sighting though, it's always nice to see, and it's a shame we don't have more of them.
This site was pretty much founded because of the scary nannies Jane encountered and the nannies that were doing things their employers had no idea about. I've read the interviews. So, why are you so confused as to what this blog is about. I am sure there is a place where you can go and chillax with all the super happy, merry nannies. It's good to see positive posts too but I could do without you decrying the negativity since it is the founding principal (I think) of this blog.
ReplyDeletecome on now ladies.
ReplyDeletei don't think that op was trying to say anything negative about what this blog is about. if she visits this site, she probably appreciates the service provided here.
it is sad to see so many people neglecting their children or charges. this blog important to let people know what is going on with the children in their communities. op was just trying to point out a positive nanny situation not knock what the blog is about.
thanks op for reminding us that all nannies aren't scary.
11:40, so instead of saying something nice about the post you are negative. I did not say I don't know what this blog is about. I said it is saddens me that most of the posts are negative. This BLOG is not only for negativity it's called "Isawyournanny" which I interpret to believe doing bad things as well as good things. Perhaps YOU should look up the term "blog" which means we're all free to post things appropriate to the site. Some people just like to read the negative, perhaps you are one such person. I was simply commending this nanny for doing a good job and hoped to point out that there are good child care providers and people generally like to hear about them as well as the awful ones. Good grief.
ReplyDeletePerhaps OP was referring more to the negativity of some of the posters on this site (*ahem* a few of the people above) rather than the negativity of the subject matter of the blog in general.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, a person can be SADDENED by SAD situations, while still understanding (one of the many) purposes of a blog, and why it exists. Once these situations stop making us sad, we've become accustomed and desensitized to a serious problem, and once we are accustomed to it, we no longer seek solutions as it becomes just another part of daily living, and perfectly acceptable. Take the good with the bad and seek out both in people, and situations. Attempt not to police others freedom of speech, all view points are valid and you might just learn something. Thank you OP, for posting a relevant sighting that showed the other side of the spectrum. It's nice to be reminded once again, that just as with every situation in life, there are always "two sides to the coin".
What is the other side? What are you saying? The other side of the coin would be a nanny being observed as good who was really bad, is that what you are saying? I mean we could write letters to thank pilots who get us safely from point a to point b. But that's the job, just like it's a job to take care of someone's children. But oddly, if you are a flower delivery person, you do get accolades for a job well done (which is just to get the flowers from point a to point b- but you still get a bonus recognition in the form of a tip).
ReplyDeleteYou know I will make a wonderful comment about the OP I think its wonderful that a good nanny is out there they are there its the matter of finding them. Im a single mom and stay home with my child Im so scared of what kind of care my 2 y/o can be in with careless people I do how ever have a wonderful babysitter who Im sad to say got married this weekend and wont be able to watch my dear sweetie but I know she is wonderful as wonderful as this OP nanny she saw!! Sitters/ nannys and daycares are so hard to come to find a wonderful one so when you do you hold on to them tightly becasue they are worth every cent to your child!! Im glad to read a wonderful story on here :)
ReplyDelete8:55 Why is it SO VERY hard for people to understand that this site is just for this. Both positive and negative. If Jane only meant for bad nanny sightings to be here I suppose she wouldn't post such a nice one. I can't believe you people above would actually be so confrontational about a person writing something NICE. If there was a blog for PILOTS that we could comment upon I'm sure there would be good and bad ones. Good LORD people why do you only want to read negative things???? For the life of me I cannot wrap my head around it. Also pilots/nannies apples and oranges. I like these kind of sightings, it's nice to know that someone doesn't just do their job but actually likes children. So OP don't listen to these nay sayers write on!
ReplyDeleteAgreed, 2:01 and 12:35. Enough Debbie Downers, already! I too like reading positive things.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many opportunities in life to compliment people and spread positivity: this site is one of them.
If you enjoy a flight or think a delivery person did a great job, what is stopping you from calling the airline or the store and reporting this good news?
I remember when my husband and I took our baby away on vacation for the first time, one of the restaurants we went to was just so nice and patient with us and the service was so great that we wrote them a letter telling them.
I also have gone up to the manager at my local market a couple of times to tell them how helpful some of the young people who work there were with me and my child.
It is a great thing to spread good words.
As someone above said, if JD didn't want those things here, they wouldn't be posted. I for one am glad she finds a place in her blog for the good news as well.
No, I love Steve, that would not be the other side of the coin I was referring to. The only reason I even made the "coin statement", was as an attempt to show two sides: yen and yang so to speak, which is exactly what I stated in my post: there is good people, and bad people...negative and positive. I was attempting to say: one side of the coin (which we all too often see unfortunately, is the negative: i.e: bad nannies) and that I enjoyed this posting because it was nice for a change to see the "other side of the coin": which for further clarification, would be the positive: i.e good nannies. Which is why I also mentioned in my post, that it was nice to be reminded that there are good nannies. Also I'm not exactly sure what your point was regarding employer praise, I do in fact believe 100% that people deserve praise when it's do, and I do believe in positive reinforcement (rather than just expecting people to do well, and ignoring their hard work) everyone likes to be acknowledged, and most people actually try HARDER when their good behavior goes noticed. Sorry if I confused you, your approach is much more negative than my attempted meaning.
ReplyDelete"yin and yang" It has nothing to do with money, which is "yen"
ReplyDeleteBlah Blah Blah
ReplyDelete*Swish* right over your head 10:19! I highly doubt anyasnew was even referring to money...to help you along, she was referring to two sides of things (the coin analogy)...like she said: good and bad...which also relates to yin and yang (You know darkness and light; evil and good) Maybe you should refrain from making rude comments on another persons post if you don't even get the concept they are referring to!
ReplyDeleteNow I have to agree with the last person: blah blah blah. ha ha
By the way, OP, thanks for the great sighting!
Wow jenna. Angry much? You sound ready to blow, and over what exactly? Loosen the lid or it will blow off girl!
