Setting boundaries for nanny screen time
It is reasonable to expect your nanny to prioritize engagement with your child over personal phone use during work hours. If you have repeatedly addressed this, consider setting stricter rules, such as asking the nanny to keep her phone in a separate room while on duty. To protect your child’s online privacy and reduce screen exposure, explicitly forbid video calls with the nanny's family or friends during care hours, and maintain open communication regarding your expectations for active supervision.
