How Responsible is Your Nanny?

Blog which highlights bad nanny behavior features post about incident at the Mountain View Target.

How well do you trust the person who cares for your child while you're at work?

A shopper at the Target in Mountain View submitted a post to a blog called I Saw Your Nanny about what she felt was a "mother’s worst nightmare."

According to the post, the shopper found a crying little girl named Hannah who yelled out for her nanny Enrica. After soliciting the help of a Target employee, who paged Enrica through the loudspeakers, the nanny appeared from six aisles over. The shopper continued:

Enrica’s reaction? She rolled her eyes, and said, "You knew where I was. Stop crying." in an annoyed tone. No shock at the realization that Hannah had been lost. No concern or apologies or thank yous. Just an eye roll and scolding the girl.

For sure there are outstanding nanny's out there, but nevertheless an industry has arisen of parents who spy on their child's caretakers with things like nanny cameras.

And the tragic death of the two children of former Bay Area executive Kevin Krim in New York slain by their nanny, probably heightened many parent's anxiety level.

What has your experience been with your child's nanny? How did you go about choosing one? Have you considered surveillance devices? Tell us in comments.

We think it will be really fun and entertaining but also a great way to exercise without evenRead More realizing it's exercise! So glad you agree, Claudia! David Dworkin is terrific all around.

This looks like so much fun! (and quite a workout too!). I always wondered what each hand movementRead More meant! Now I can find out!

Mark, I will contact the SCC Coroner's office for information about his identity and then hopefullyRead More that can help us learn more about this man. I can only imagine how horrible this must have been.

My heart goes out to his family. I'm really saddened that the person who hit him is going to haveRead More to deal with guilty feelings/horrible memories from this, even though it was 0% his fault. If someone wants to take their own life, then that's terribly sad, but I think it's especially terrible to involve or potentially involve someone else in the process.

My daughter and I saw the man climbing down the fence and deliberately drop himself down into the onRead More coming traffic! It was a very gruesome thing to see. I would be interested in knowing something about this person. I feel horrible for him and his loved ones.

I'm not sure Gary. I'm not sure if your situation is specific to you or many other users since thisRead More is the first day of the redesign. I'll find out and get back to you.
