Ha. Being a mom sometimes means we are irrational. ;) </p> <p>Our nanny told me that while they were on a walk one day, she look LO out of her stroller and let a STRANGER hold her!!! Granted, the stranger was an 80+ year old woman who lives in our neighborhood, but still. That was one thing on a long list of bad judgement calls by her, and we eventually chose a different child care situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-question-1#post-2383206 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 14:57:00 +0000 winniebee 2383206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A tad crazy ; ) I imagine that on occasion other nannies or teachers at kids gym / music class might need to hold my son if my nanny needs an emergency bathroom break or something. I'm fine with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-question-1#post-2383201 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 14:52:41 +0000 Raindrop 2383201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay I think this is a little cra cra too. </p> <p>But at the same time... maybe your "mommy instincts" are kicking in? If it's really bothering you... something might be going on.</p> <p>I'm not sure what the next steps would be to check it out though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-question-1#post-2383197 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 14:50:45 +0000 Anagram 2383197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup, irrational. =) When I have a random day off work, I go to our building's community room so LO can play with all the nanny kids (they tend to meet up every day for all the kids to play together). I always see the nannies helping each other with their charges, and I also jump in if a kiddo needs something. I think since they see each other every day, the kiddos are very comfortable with the other nannies helping/playing with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-question-1#post-2383149 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 14:23:53 +0000 Meowkers 2383149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you ladies. I just needed someone to tell me I was being crazy....and you did. hehe Ok, I'll calm down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-question-1#post-2383108 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 14:06:22 +0000 Mrs Spoon 2383108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't give it a second thought. If this friend was solo without your nanny around, that would be weird. Otherwise sounds like there is a great group that your daughter is around for these play dates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-question-1#post-2383094 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 13:58:46 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2383094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister's nanny has a similar group of nannies and LOs that they meet up with every day. It's not unusual to see any of the other nannies helping out - they all kind of watch all the kids. My nephews have even formed attachments to a couple of the other nannies. </p> <p>I don't think its weird at all and am kind of jealous that my nanny doesn't have a group that she takes LO to hang out with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-question-1#post-2383077 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 13:47:45 +0000 travelingnanny 2383077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seriously? That's ridiculous. It sounds like she has a great friend. My nanny friends and I love each other's nanny kids and we're always helping each other out. Maybe you could have her host a play date that you can make it to so that you can meet her friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-question-1#post-2383075 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 13:47:03 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2383075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meowkers: if this was a daycare setting this type of thing happens offten. A floater we haven't personally met steps in to help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-question-1#post-2383071 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 13:45:34 +0000 Madison43 2383071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meowkers: I understand the weird feeling, but I think its irrational :wink: Our LO and her nanny have a similar routine in that they are out and about all the time with other kiddos and their nannies. My experience is that the nannies all help each other out in the same way that you would help out another mom while on a play date. Just an extra pair of hands if needed. Plus it sounds like sounds like they were just trying to take a cute picture for you. I get it though - my husband and I always joke that our daughter has a bigger social circle than we do because of all the nannies and kids she meets up with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-question-1#post-2383061 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 13:42:57 +0000 catomd00 2383061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, sorry it seems a little over the top to be upset about. But, you're paying your nanny to treat your child however you want and are comfortable with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-question-1#post-2383060 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 13:42:03 +0000 Synchronicity 2383060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little unreasonable :) I think it's pretty great that your LO is getting lots of interaction with other kids! It doesn't sound like your nanny has given you a reason to worry, so try not to... it just puts unnecessary strain on things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-question-1#post-2383055 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 13:40:09 +0000 Bao 2383055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's crazy, she was probably just trying to help out so she could send you a nice picture. If you trust your nanny's judgment then all should be well :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-question-1#post-2383049 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 13:37:50 +0000 gingerbebe 2383049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I think its crazy if its just for a second to snap a pic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-question-1#post-2383041 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 13:35:20 +0000 Meowkers 2383041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok I feel like I'm being irrational so I just need someone to tell me that.</p> <p>We have a great nanny who we trust. Everyday she takes DD for playdates at the park or mall play area. They meet up with other nannies that she is friends with and their kids, as well as some neighbors who our nanny has made friends with. This is a weekly rotation. </p> <p>Our nanny just sent me a picture of my daughter, her "friend" Emma and Emma's nanny (who is a friend of our nanny.) Emma's nanny is helping my daughter stand while our nanny snaps the picture.</p> <p>Something about tis just rubs me wrong but I don't know what it is or if I'm being completely crazy. I guess I just feel weird about a person I don't know helping our nanny watch my DD by helping DD stand. Crazy right? </p>
