I saw a Nanny at Sunnyside Gardens Park in Sunnyside Gardens, NY. A black woman from an "island", maybe Jamaican, with two little kids, both caucasian children, a boy about 4 or 5 and a girl about 2 1/2 - 3. She was on the phone for most of the time I was there and would watch the two kids hurting each other. I walked over to the kids because the boy was hitting the girl with a wiffle-ball bat and the girl was protecting herself with a stick. She shooed them and didn't stop it, just continued with her phone call. By the time I came over he had a graphite bat in his hand and I grabbed it away and she finally interrupted her call for a second and said thank you. I was appalled. The nanny immediately went right back to the phone call.

EEeeekk....this Nanny sounds terrible. I hope the parents realize that they are paying their Nanny to talk on the phone.
ReplyDeleteHow long would you say you saw her talking on the phone OP?
If the children were not being adequately supervised, she should be fired.
