I saw your nanny blog

Have any of you heard of this website? It's at http://isawyournanny.blogspot.com/.

What it is, is that anyone who observes a nanny out in public not taking good care of a child can post to it anonymously, with the place and time they saw them, and a description. Most of the posts are about nannies in NY, although there are some from other cities as well.

What do you think of this, nannies?

I think it's interesting, and not a bad idea (hey, before I found out for certain that SwattingNanny's employers knew she was spanking their child, I thought about posting about her on there!). Some of the nannies that comment to the site dislike it because they feel it gives us all a bad name, and I can see where they're coming from. However, since it is a site that's meant to keep kids from getting abused or neglected, I think it doesn't reflect on most nannies, just the scary ones.

They also have a "nanny of the month" category, where people can nominate great nannies they've seen out and about.

Pretty interesting reading - too bad there's only one entry so far about the city I work in.

I like reading it. I think its a very good idea, but would be a lot more helpful if more parents read it as well.

thats a great idea imo. tho some commenters seem to be more hung up on reporting of the race offenders than actually offering advice for the poster...i guess this is something our generation has to learn to live with.

how about a site warning nannies of 'evil' employers?

Interesting. I'll have to read it some more to form a better opinion but after reading a post and some of the comments, I have to say that I don't like it. First, if parents did read it, they might be wondering about their own nanny, who may be a perfectly fine nanny. Second, the post I read as well as the comments were awful, but maybe it was just that one post. For some reason it's okay for a nanny to tell another child that she will boil a little boy if he touches the little girl she's taking care of? That makes no sense to me whatsoever. So maybe the little girl is well protected, but that's not how to treat another child nor a good example.

So I'm not too sure what to think - just that post that I read, I didn't feel too comfortable about!
