WWYD: saw our night nanny holding our newborn in an armchair with her eyes closed, in the dark, and appeared to be asleep for 30 mins (I checked the cameras)....when I asked her she said she was not asleep but just holding the baby.

It makes me uncomfortable when her eyes are closed when holding baby but I'm assuming that is an unhinged request to make?

She does appear to be resting/sleeping when baby is in the crib (but baby does not spend a lot of time there and primarily needs to be held)

I don’t see an issue with it if the nanny is not sleeping. I close my eyes while holding my newborn. Now if you can noticeably see head nodding, dozing off, and/or snoring then that’s a different story.

It’s not really unhinged you’re literally paying this person to stay awake while holding your child, although you can’t prove they were not asleep and they deny it so you need to trust they’re telling the truths even though it’s highly likely they dozed off… you can usually tell
Use this to reset a boundary that if there’s ANY chance of drowsiness move the baby to the bassinet and that she should always attempt a transfer once the baby is in a deeper sleep

We found our night nanny sleeping holding our baby — my husband had a really serious conversation with her about how that was really not okay with us and she promised to never do it again.
It’s almost harder where she’s denying being asleep. You can maybe blame yourself being crazy and explain that when you see her eyes closed for 30 minutes it’s really hard for you not to spiral into worry so please don’t do that and put the baby down if she needs to rest her eyes?

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match.

Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
