My nanny won't stop watching TV, from morning till night

true. hiring someone isn't a one-time solution that magically solves everything. there will be an increase in water, electricity, gas, food and non-food items that you have to buy or pay for. then there is the training, retraining and constant monitoring. then there is the privacy and safety issue. they might talk about personal stuff with your neighbors or they might be duped by strangers. each age group has its pros and cons, but i doubt you'll find someone who can forgo tv and texting regardless of age nowadays!

It is very hard to find some house help as to this moment,that is why I am not scolding my helper every time she makes some mistakes.I just give her some lectures what to do next time.She was a good listener,yet very hard headed because her age was already 47 years old to become a house help,but what can I do and besides there are so many opportunities back to my province just to convinced someone to become a helper.If I were you just give her some limits in viewing the TV,and let her handle another chores to let her busy besides attending your baby.I do not trust getting some helper from an agency,because I was already a victim with a helper from an agency,who have stolen my money and never catch her.I still search for her whereabouts.I like getting helper from the province,as they are more industrious and hard working.Once I have employed a helper,I will tell her all what I wanted her to do,and I also give her time to rest during the afternoon.She has a day off every other Sunday to rewind her friends.

Well, It depends on a person I guess. We have a nanny and we let her watch it. It is because we had a 2 year old boy and so, he's watching cartoons with her nanny.

When you fire her or "let her go', you might s well tell your applicants hat qualifications they should have and the restrictions as well.

all day watching TV has not ever get tired. I only watch TV when I have time. and it more often in the evening. when we are at home the TV is on but only because kids watch children channels. o I think her go and find another. nice day!

its best you do let her go because what if you got something in important to do one day you leave with the baby she not going to pay the baby no mind because she so into the tv take it from someone who's on the computer all day i use to watch my lil brothers i would so into the computer i let them do watever and they make a mess everything they did i had to clean it up.

Letting her go would be the best thing for you to do. Why on earth do you have a nanny, if you can not even trust her with the baby? That makes absolutely no sense to me. No sense at all!!

I'm not sure I understand...you have a nanny. You don't trust your nanny to watch over and mind your children. So, what is she doing there. You say her chores are all done in the early morning so I fail to see the problem. What do you expect her to do? It sounds as if she is totally bored and I bet she would have some interesting things to say if we heard her side of things.

If she is not watching the baby, why is she there? People hire a nanny to look after the children because they are busy doing other things or need help in caring for an infant because it is the first time. Unless everyone or you are watching Tv, she should not, so I would advise you to give her a warning that the Tv is costing too much electricity and if she gets nasty, let her go.

Those Nannies are really addict in watching television instead doing the household chores. If I am there boss, I will allow them to watch at free time. Duty first before doing pleasure. Watching teleseryes are the most watch part for nannies.

Well, having her fulfulled all the other tasks doesn't mean she is supposed to watch TV all day, but what I don't understand is if she's a housekeeper or a nanny, or both. If she's only a housekeeper and must spend the rest of the day at you home, so don't complaint. But you did say that she's primarily a nanny but obviously doesn't seem liable to look after the baby. Bottom line you spend money for nanny and electricity, and at the same time you keep losing money by not going to work and looking after the baby. That makes this nanny useless and not profitable to have her. At least to me.

Hi jureathome. Well I think you should first give her a warning that you do not like someone watching television entire day and if it continues so then you will have to think of someone else for nanny. If she changes then it is fine or else you can go on with the old one. But I think you should give her at least one warning. Anyways have a nice day ... -=SuperShames=-

Maybe you should try and start giving her little things to do with the baby like changing the diaper or preparing a bottle start out her small to see how she does then if there is still problems then you may need to find a new one.

Lucky you, you got nanny there. I'm also from cebu, you are right? Yah, sometimes nanny wants to watch tv so much. We had it too when I was in Philly. What my mom does is to list all the chores she will do for a day. And then when she's done, she can free to do anything. You know, they can't help to miss their Tele series,hehe. If your uncomfortable, just let her go and find a new one.

If your nanny only needs to do the housework and she finishes it early, then it is OK for her to watch TV. However, since she is required to take care of your baby, then I don't think it is fine for her to watch TV for such a long time. Since she has to look at the baby now and then to make sure that the baby is alright. And when the baby wakes up, she has to play with the baby or go out to have a walk with the baby. The baby needs to have the sunshine and fresh air. So she is not qualified in this aspect and I think it is OK to let her go. But I also wonder whether you shall give her one more chance and tell her what to do. Such as she shouldn't watch TV for such a long time and she shall spend more time with your baby. If she doesn't improve her service, then it is fair for you to fire her.

Correct! You have to find a new one. You can't just pay her for just watching tv the whole day! How lucky she is!

I've had that same experience with nannies. They prefer to watch TV or talk on their cellphone using unlimited calls while you struggle watching the baby. Yes, you must change that nanny and find someone who knows her responsibilities and don't give you so much problems.

some nannies are really like that, they like to watch tv a lot during their free times. the nanny of my sister's kids are also like that. sometimes she watches tv without looking properly on the kids or some nannies are not ashamed and are so comfortable inside the home that they do anything they like.

Yup! If you are not satisfied, then you should find a new one. You should take help of a nanny agency, here is the link: Check it & you can hire a nanny from here for your loved ones.

I totally agree. Most of the nannies are really fond of watching television rather than doing their job. I guess they do not have television in their homes that's why they watch it so much. The biggest problem that i think is that you cannot trust all nannies , so if an old and trusted nanny is working at your home it is not easy to fire her on behalf of that she watches too much television. Although there are some nannies who are committed to their work, but most of them are fond of watching television.
