Should I Restrict My Nanny’s Cell Phone Use? 📵

Posted on by Admin Team

Happy Tuesday everyone!

It’s Laura back with my next video “Should I Restrict My Nanny’s Cell Phone Use?”

Spoiler alert: The answer is an emphatic NO!

Most nannies are professionals and know how to conduct themselves when it comes to topics such as cell phone usage.

I always caution parents that including a cell phone policy in the job description can be a big “turn off” to nannies and can lead to feelings of mistrust, micromanagement, and “helicopter” parenting later in the relationship.

Check out this video where I discuss why you shouldn’t restrict your nanny’s cell phone usage and how to discuss cell phone use with your nanny when it comes to:

  • Driving your kids
  • At the park or another “out of the house” activity
  • While working in your home

PLUS a bonus tip at the end that all parents and nannies should check out!
