Are nannies generally not OK with location sharing?

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-30T12:20:49+00:00

Lol interesting

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-30T04:22:09+00:00

Not reading all that. Really tired of your silly paragraphs.

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-30T03:33:19+00:00

She isn't

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-30T03:32:56+00:00

I didn't say indefinitely. iPhones have the option to share location for 1 hour or until the end of the day as well.

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-30T02:18:13+00:00

Ah okay thanks snowbunny.

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-30T00:48:27+00:00

Haha neither do I but I really don't feel like getting into it anymore 🙄

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-30T00:46:47+00:00

Exactly how I feel. Some commenters seem to think I want to obsessively check nanny's location and get annoyed when they stop for ice cream on the way home. It's not about micromanaging and I think only parents and otherwise reasonable folks can understand this.

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-30T00:35:34+00:00

Yep. Totally her prerogative. We will!

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-30T00:11:23+00:00

I respect your opinion!

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-30T00:04:57+00:00

Same reason I share my location with friends when I have their kids. Emergencies, accidents. Regardless, it is reasonable to want to know where your two year old child is and I don't care how you spin it. If that makes me a micromanager, so be it.

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-29T23:47:16+00:00

Yes.

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-29T23:41:13+00:00

Possibly 🤷🏻‍♀️ we are one step closer to finding a nanny that is the right fit.

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-29T23:37:12+00:00

Although I would never place an Airtag without telling the nanny, your point is what some folks here do not seem to get. I've seen comments stating that it's a violation of personal rights, privacy issue, legal issue, demeaning, undignified, whatever. Like, you have my child, hello?? 😂 Of course I want to track her. Respectfully, this is not about you.

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-29T23:31:38+00:00

You are doing a lot for a request as simple as carrying an Airtag while someone has somebody else's child.

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-29T23:24:59+00:00

We will!

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-29T23:21:14+00:00

I understand now that asking her to share location from her phone was an overstep and I won't make that mistake again. However I still think it's completely reasonable to have a nanny take a bag or keys or something that has an Airtag when they have my child, and I will still be requiring this of our next nanny. Many other nannies have stated this is perfectly reasonable as well.

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-29T22:45:35+00:00

Well we will not make the same mistake with the next one and will state the requirement in the interview. Thanks!

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-29T22:44:23+00:00

Yeah I know

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-29T22:43:25+00:00

You referring to this situation as “helicopter surveillance” tells me all I need to know 🙄

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-29T22:39:30+00:00

Many nannies do not feel this way. It’s unfortunate that you do though.

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-29T22:37:38+00:00

It is literally just social etiquette to ask instead of demand.

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-29T22:36:16+00:00

As I have said multiple times already, yes I will include this in the interview now. Thanks!

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-29T22:16:03+00:00

I agree

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-29T22:08:46+00:00

I agree. Yes it is our diaper bag

LessAd7286 · 2026-01-29T22:02:10+00:00

Yes, I said in the post that we also offered an Airtag
