(and yes, I have to work through lunch every day too). Any nanny who spends more than 5 minutes on the phone when she should be paying attention to the child she is being paid to engage should be fired. And I agree "maybe she's not getting paid enough" is never valid. If she agreed to her terms of employment than she needs to hold up her end of the bargain. Not doing the job she agreed to do do is dishonest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-32172816429623005012007-02-20T11:18:00.000-05:002007-02-20T11:18:00.000-05:00Hi A - word of caution: if you try to take a pict...Hi A - word of caution: if you try to take a picture of a woman like this, do it surreptitiously.

And to all you people who are going to say "maybe she doesn't get paid enough"...that is bs. If the nanny doesn't think she is getting paid enough then she should find a different job, not make the innocent child suffer. She obviously does not like her job, or kids for that matter...so why is she a nanny?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-65535588477510884412007-02-17T21:18:00.000-05:002007-02-17T21:18:00.000-05:00636 it's not fair to say working moms love their j...636 it's not fair to say working moms love their jobs more than their children. Why do so many people come down on working mothers? Personally, I stay home full time but have a nanny who helps out twice a week. How many moms out there have to work? Yes, some choose to work for the joy their jobs bring to them, and as I've said before, they are setting a great example to their children. But don't assume their children are of no value to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-83723876368630424932007-02-17T20:25:00.000-05:002007-02-17T20:25:00.000-05:00Why would a good nanny be so defensive?

I did this just last week at the grocery store (although my charge is a 12 week old who was sleeping in her car seat in the cart) I surely don't trust strangers to get close to my charges - it only takes a spilt second for a child to be kidnapped.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-35638644728881116652007-02-17T11:34:00.000-05:002007-02-17T11:34:00.000-05:001129, wow, maybe the moms should watch their own k...1129, wow, maybe the moms should watch their own kids.

Welcome back!!!<BR/><BR/>910, I totally agree!<BR/><BR/>1119, sadly, while I agree with whay you are saying, there are a lot of children out there who would be better off with nannies. I know a mom who shuts out her children. They are home with her 24/7, and it is not a good situation. When her son was a newborn, she couldn't stand his loud breathing and/or crying at night, so she would pull his bassanet into the bathroom, turn on the fan and shut the door. UGH!!! She has no nuturing bone in her body until her children turn three and can play by themselves. Then they are "good" and not "naughty." I try to be a good infulence, but am about to throw up my hands. <BR/><BR/>OP, thank you. Maybe being confronted might put a thought into her overprocessed head and hint she is doing something wrong. Or hopefully this site does it's job and alerts the childs parents or someone else that knows the family. I just hope to goodness that the "nanny" was not the mom.

I am NEVER getting a nanny; thank goodness my husband and I can work and can take of our kids at the same time. Thank goodness my girls aren't subject to the kind of day-to-day mind-numbing, soul-destroying treatment these kids under the care of nannies are. It is horrific - yes, horrific - and pathetic. Even the ones who "aren't so bad", sullenly ignoring the kid who wants to go see the ferris wheel. Awful, awful. These kids should be with someone who LOVES them, harsh words or not - someone LOVING. These kids don't have it and the next generation will suffer. Check your nannies carefully, fellow lawyers and other professionals - - send your sisters and friends out to monitor.

"They know that they are to sit and wait for me while I eat." The nanny in the post was harsh, and did not engage the child. There is no excuse for making a three year old sit bored with nothing to do, while you eat and chat on the phone. My charges frequently have to wait with me while a sibling is in a class. I bring books, paper and crayons, and play with them. My time is being paid for after all. It is called work. Adults aren't expected to sit and wait with nothing to do, in any Dr.s office there are magazines, waiting around on jury duty you can read, phone, even use a laptop. <BR/>I do think the parents have to take some of the blame for hiring her however. It is obvious from her grammar that she is not a highly qualified nanny.<BR/>A nannyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
