Sooo my nanny fell asleep holding the baby. My husband and I work from home. So, he walked in, saw them and put the baby in the crib.
Ask: Any advice on how to address this with the nanny? Also, it it a fire able offense?

Context: Nanny started full time on 1/24; baby is not quite 5 months old; we are WFH and have cameras installed that are visible (she should know they exist); first time having a nanny

1st acknowledging this scenario is less than desired.

Nannies should be treated like family. So they treat your child like family.

I don’t see what the “fire-able” offense is here. I don’t know any parent who hasn’t fallen asleep holding their baby.

No need then to ask for validation. Good luck.

Have you fallen asleep with your baby yet ?

Good work on the no bed sharing . Sorry about your cousins child. I see how that might affect your thinking on this. That said fallen asleep with your baby in yours arms is pretty common. I do find it weird if a nanny did so but expected for every one else . Probably a good bonding moment for you and baby and your spouse who finds you sleeping with the baby :)

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?
