Thursday, 9/4 @ around 10 AM. At the choo choo playground by Trump (Riverside and 66th st) NYC. I saw this little girl, about 15 months old, looked like a young Brooke Shields, white dress with cherries on it. The girl had blondish wispy hair and sandals. The nanny put her on the swing and then left the area to get something in the stroller that was too far away. The nanny is a Hispanic woman, in her 50s, about 5ft4, thin.

wow...she should have taken the kid with her. dumb lady.
these are getting ridiculous
why dont you post something that actually is neccessary
too far away? maybe the nanny swinging the kid right next to her is a friend and they have an unspoken aggreement if one walks away for 2 seconds
or maybe the nanny kept her eye on the child the whole time
or maybe your idea of too far is ten feet
lets be real this post is a waste of time.
boooooring!
Well I don't know the area but I wouldn't think what the nanny warranted a sighting. She didn't neglect the child and in fact put her in the swing.
Did she do anything else to the child? Like neglect her? Not give her water? Sat there on her phone the entire time? Made out with her boyfriend?
If that's the only thing 'wrong' she did then I would think it was a momentary lapse in judgment that we all have.....
what is this about? who looks like brooke shields? the nanny did what - went to get something from the stroller and...? and what? did you expect her to take the kid with her just to go get something? please explain.
This is the second post I have seen like this, this week, so I am going to kind of repeat my response here and ask for some clarification again. As a San Diego nanny, I do not understand this park situation and the level of danger it involves. Where I live and work, it is totally acceptable to leave a child in the stroller and the swing if you need to get something or attend to another child, provided you can see the baby and look back on them. Even if you can't, it is well within reason to expect that the child will be fine for a short period of time. In fact, I couldn't take more than one child to the park if this wasn't the case. We would all need a one child to adult ratio. Or we would have a pretty miserable time carrying and herding children around like luggage wherever we walked. How could you run and grab your water bottle or help your other child climb something while the younger one was swinging. Do you mean to tell me in New York it is so serious that you must not ever step away from the child at the playground? Out of pure lack of knowledge, I ask for someone to fill me in on this situation.
This playground is fairly small, and I suspect she was not far from the child. I don't see the nanny's actions as wrong here.
wtf is up with giving the OPs such a hard time lately? Nobody can ever do anything good anymore. These ppl take time out of their day to come and report caregivers treating children like crap, and someone has to say "booooring?" Get a damn life once a nanny, now a mom!
The stroller being too far away is such a subjective judgement. It would help if the description was more specific, i.e. she was out of sight, or was away for more than a minute or two. As it is, it sounds like a normal occurrence, especially for people with more than one child in tow.
You must understand that we are talking about rich, blonde, white children. The world is just waiting to grab them when their abusive minority nannies turn their backs for two seconds.
If she was too young to budge, there is no reason why the nanny could not take her with her, since she was the only charge. If she was not too young to budge, then the nanny should not have left her out of sight either.
