I don't think babies should be held all the time either but in a public place like that, the nanny needs to keep an eye on them and at least make some sort of acknowledgment to complete strangers coming up to them. <br /><br />And I've been in the coffee shop that OP spoke of and there's one not so sane fellow who occasionally stops by. So there's making sure skeevy people stay away from infants too. <br /><br />(he's the guy who yells at the ground, curses at everyone and throws stuff :()chrissymahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00779749087058915541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-52758333407040938602009-07-02T17:49:26.311-04:002009-07-02T17:49:26.311-04:00katie,

Who cares if she has tattoos?<br />I am a nanny and I also hang out with a very large group of nannies and about 90% of us have tattoos. They aren't offensive, they don't interfere with our job, and they certainly don't make us bad nannies. <br />I completely and utterly agree that she should not have had her back to the babies, I wouldn't ever have my back to my charges because they are my priority while I'm working but I think her color and personal life have been discussed enough. Obviously the parents hired her so she must be doing something right especially if she still has her job. <br />Stay on track with the comments please. Degrading a person because of color, likes, dislikes, hobbies, interests (or whatever else you can think of to pick on someone about) truly leads away from the original post and gets everyone off track of the issues. <br />She should have been facing the babies but one sighting and the hear say of another commenter doesn't mean this nanny is a bad nanny. She made a mistake and I'm sure if it keeps happening the parents will hear it from someone and she will be dealt with.

A plus side to a nanny job with babies is stimulating them. Sure perhaps a coffee shop may be a great place for the nanny to get a nice drink to re-fuel her difficult job as a nanny for TWIN INFANTS! However, this was not the case. The reason this was even posted was because the nanny was ignoring the twin babies. This is where it is so wrong. <br /><br />Not it's not being too paranoid. If a woman was in line (the original poster in this case) and she noticed that the nanny was completely unattentive-what if a con artist or someone targeting the 'busy type' or distracted type of individual had come into that shop on that morning? <br />Maybe now some readers can see my point. I just find it very unethical to any norm especially in today's society, yet alone the city of Baltimore. <br /><br />As far as the nanny who writes music and is earthy- I was trying to hint that she appears to be quite the party type. She wears the hemp necklaces and has tatoos all over here. She also hands out cards with her myspace information which is the sole reason I know she composes rap lyrics. <br /><br />I did not mean to attack this individual by referring to her as black, colored or african. It really seems that whatever I were to call her, SOMEONE would be offended?! <br /><br />So at this point we will refer to her as the woman with dark skin such as someone from Africa or another country where people of color originate from. I would never use fowl language to describe anyone. <br /><br />I just thought I'd check back to see what all had written and was quite surprised that so many of you were referring to my prior comment as notorious. <br /><br />Best of luck to those of you who don't realize that this nanny sighting is gladly submitted and we can all learn from one another not to hire this type of individual in our homes. <br /><br />These people (nanny) are those who we should steer clear of in our lives. I can only pray that the parents find out and do what is deemed appropriate.Natalienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-89968949322285599082009-06-30T21:26:07.327-04:002009-06-30T21:26:07.327-04:00I don't think anybody was advocating ignoring ...I don't think anybody was advocating ignoring their babies; we were pointing out that they do not need to be actively engaged every waking moment. Both of my babies very much enjoyed just quietly taking in their environment, as it sounds like these twins were doing. Visual stimulation is every bit as important as physical and mental stimulation.<br /><br />I agree with you, Mom, on the horrible practice of just letting babies cry. To do so is cruel and ignorant.JacksMomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-18976237067212044882009-06-30T21:16:18.945-04:002009-06-30T21:16:18.945-04:00WTF Said:

While I am not bothered by this sighting, because of it's very brief duration, I really dislike this ides that you can give an infant too much attention. I think it's hogwash. You cannot spoil infants by being attentive to their social, physical, and emotional needs. Having those needs met in infancy is what makes children grow up to be confident and independent. It's the children who are often ignored who grow up clingy and insecure. At any rate, it's certainly not necessary to avoid giving infants attention just to make a point. In fact, I can't imagine anything dumber. They are only babies for a short time."<br /><br />I couldn't agree more!!!! (Same for leaving them to cry so they can be "taught who is boss." Ugh!) Pick up your babies and lavish them with as much attention as you can. It is so true that it is the kids to get too little attention are the clingy ones, while the ones who have been given plenty of attention tend to be more secure. <br /><br />Somebody once advised me to send my three year old son to preschool so that he would be used to being away form me and therefore not cry when I sent him to kindergarten. it was the going thing in the area when we moved here to push them right out of the nest, tears and all, as toddlers, to "train" them to build independence. I watched their kids cry and cling upon being left for years...and wondered when those mothers would ever become "trained" enough to realize that their brilliant methods seemed to be backfiring.momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-29231197558070881942009-06-30T20:52:05.180-04:002009-06-30T20:52:05.180-04:00Well, ignorant people come in all colors.
