Dougie's Nanny at Sagamore Playground in Bronxiville

Pictured, Sagamore Park
Location: Sagamore Playground in Bronxville, NY
Description of Nanny: Hispanic, about 5"2", 300 lbs? Brown straight hair, red tank top, black pants, white tennis shoes.
Description of Child: Doug/Dougie. Dirty blonde, curly hair. Approx 4 years old, wearing grey and green sweatshirt
Description of Event: I saw this and it made me so mad. Not because she broke the bench, or even because she laughed about it. But because she was so out of shape that even after she broke the table, she just moved to another. She had a four year old child she was watching and the child was everywhere. He would say, "come watch this" and she would say "Uhmm hmmm" and never look up from her phone. Since she couldn't chase him, she spent the whole 45 minutes there yelling at him. He ran over to her at one point and took off his grey and green sweatshirt and said he was hot and through at her. It was still chilly. So after a few minutes, she started yelling at him to come and get his sweatshirt. She must have said come here about 20 times. And yes, she broke a bench. I wanted to take a picture of her and the bench, but I thought it would be humiliating to her and seem mean and like it was a weight thing. Really, it is about the level of care she was able to provide to a very active child.

If its strictly about care of child why even mention the fact she broke the bench?? Didn't seem necessary

I live in Bronxville and thus pay taxes to Bronxville. I most certainly care about a broken bench! Ugh.

The whole bench thing is irrelevant and mean. Stick to the relevant point: the care (or lack thereof) of the child.
