They don't require it, but I like to do it since I know as a parent, you miss your child if you do not see him or her throughout the day. Plus, when you text during the day, the information is still fresh. In this day and age, texting is a great way to keep in touch w/out having to talk on the phone which can only be done at certain times.Reesenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-47883094408366453322011-05-01T19:58:53.021-04:002011-05-01T19:58:53.021-04:00When you only pick up after school did you take a ...When you only pick up after school did you take a major pay cut ?

I often will send picture text updates throughout the day though just to give the parents a little window into our day!SanDiegoNannynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-37905513244420751832011-04-30T00:08:50.995-04:002011-04-30T00:08:50.995-04:00OP here, MB was a little anxious when I began work...OP here, MB was a little anxious when I began working with them over a year ago. They had some nanny trust issues in the past and I accepted that, they're her kids. I text her when we leave home and when we get home, it is rather routine but I'm happy to do it if it gives her peace of mindOP-NannyBeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-80558503190456469602011-04-29T23:09:23.063-04:002011-04-29T23:09:23.063-04:00I had never thought of it either.

I don't really understand why the parents would need to know when we got home everyday--wouldn't it always be around the same time? Seems like it would be more of an annoyance than anything, but then I'm not much of a texter anyway.MissMannahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-91711745481081181502011-04-29T22:38:06.947-04:002011-04-29T22:38:06.947-04:00Texting parents throughout the day, just to give u...Texting parents throughout the day, just to give updates on location or random stuff, seems more common on DITLs than I would have expected. <br /><br />I have never thought to ask my nanny to do this. She keeps a simple daily log, but after years together, I trust her.<br /><br />Am I missing something by not asking for these texts? Is it something nannies expect/want to do? Do you perceive the parents as better/more involved because they want you to do this?nycmomnoreply@blogger.com
