The Nanny Diaries
On a hot afternoon in New York City, my friend Miriam was sitting at a grassy public venue, watching her child play alongside other kids in the care of various moms and nannies.
A long-time New York resident, Miriam is fully aware of the city’s urban imperative: mind your own business.
But she couldn’t help but notice the crying of a nearby baby, approximately nine months old, strapped in his stroller facing the sun, while his nanny ignored him and chatted with another nanny.
The minutes passed…5…10…15…the baby’s skin got redder, the crying persisted, and the nanny’s only response was to periodically bark, “Shh! Be quiet!” while brusquely shaking the baby’s stroller.
And that is when Miriam decided she had to do something: she had to stop minding her own business.
In New York, where the number of scary nanny stories surpasses the number of scary subway stories, an increasing number of citizens are posting reports about bad nanny behavior on a blog called I Saw Your Nanny.
The posts—complete with date, time, location, physical descriptions of nanny and child, and sometimes a cell phone photo—will stop the heart of any parent who recognizes his or her nanny or child: I saw your nanny …grabbing your boy by the ear and twisting him…mistreating and roughly handling your 3-5 year old girl…fell asleep right on the bench where she was sitting with her back to your son.
Launched in August 2006, the blog has sparked a debate about the obligations—and limits—of personal responsibility. Critics contend that it’s potentially libelous for strangers to publicly attack a nanny’s professional performance.
But that didn’t stop Miriam from confronting the nanny about the neglected baby. “She told me to mind my own business. Then she started yanking the baby in the stroller. That’s when I told her I was calling 911.”
Aware that NYPD was on its way, the nanny bolted to leave the location, still yelling, “Mind your own business!” Miriam ran ahead of the woman and snapped her picture with her cell phone. But by the time the police arrived, the nanny was gone.
Tell us what you think: When is it right to stop minding your own business and start minding someone else’s? How far would you go in reporting disturbing behavior by a nanny or anyone else?

NO!! help before it's to late!!
No of course not. the children are to young to defend for themselves. they always need eyes. has anyone ever heard the saying it takes a village to raise a child?

Maybe she should'nt have confronted.
Like another person said, she shouldnt have confronted the nanny. It did lead to self defense and the nanny started getting angry. I do not blame Miriam though, because she wouldnt have known. She thought it would be okay. I get that. But still
no, just talk to the nanny in a calm manner.

you are absolutely right. assuming that the child was intentionally being hurt isn’t fair to the nanny. That is what i would have done too.

There are no more blinds than whom doesn’t want
INTRODUCTION
The FA Court issue an Order of “Temporary Removal” (not Emergency Removal) from NAFR Shelter against the subject five minor children without completed investigation process nor lives under Domestic Violence’s issues, since then Respondent(s) fathers hadn’t been defended properly by 18b‘s appoint. SCO St. Christopher Agency continued withholding inside foster care curving whole Court process to their favor: monitoring, recording, reporting to court, elaborating statement, set investigations, etc., in protective mode defending themselves and their staff’s foster care personnel’s keeping meeting with children only influencing them through therapies and assessments counseling to making up addressing and moderations for matches specific targets.
The ACS/SCO Permanency Hearing Report summated by ACS/SCO on September 15, 2009 confirm that none one Attorney or Persons Legally Responsible for assist the parents are in charge, although Hon. Clark Richardson Court had appointed “Guardian at Listen for consult only” to Ms. Ferraro (for Mr. Aridio) and Mr. David (for Mrs. Maria) none of them as well as any other previously appointed didn’t have shown appropriate assistances pro resolve that matter sooner or enhance protection for witness of Federal and State frauds, they’d kept private meets among FA Court and ACS/OCS agencies staff’s without advise properly to Respondents…
Defendants observed 18b’s call arguing concepts against the best interest of family reunification that was suppose be applied while this long Court procedures getting end because there wasn’t substantiated evidences to support such “temporary removal” from shelter, and arguing against the needs of safety through the witness protection laws; performing discussions or verbal confrontations over phone. Knowing that children wasn’t been abused by father’s while lived in shelter and that they wasn’t at risk of abuses or neglects neither because parents nor children wasn‘t under behavioral conditions of mental illness nor with medical records as ACS late accusations had stables considering all families members disables, (about Childs) Say: “are less than eighteen years of age whose physical, mental or emotional conditions have been impaired or is in imminent danger of becoming impaired as a result of the failure of their BP’s.” (about Parents) Say: “had provided inadequate supervision and guardianship to the subject children due to his mental illness. making enfaces that fathers are “all mixed up”, and seems paranoids with many classic features of schizophrenics…” Consequently the FA Court authorized the “temporary removal” telling that was based on the fathers mental illness conditions…Defendants repeatedly outlined the case through statements and evidences summated to Court with copies for all parties involved included 18b‘s.
During previous Permanent Hearing procedures, 18b’s were forcing parents to accept mental evaluation and assessments with threatening and medications monitored by SCO agency without have any public assistance case open nor medical insurances to cover up. In many occasions 18b’s avoided physical presences of defendants into Court, hiding presences of others peoples witness what maybe were identify before defendants using different names and functions…, isolating the parents in the process for late on be called into Court room by taken ouch and heard about next programmed scheduled Court Hearing, it was settled normally in longed period of times between one and other.
Theses way 18b’s misrepresented parents making up confusions, never validating notarized explanations, photos-audio CD-evidences, concerns, suggestions, petitions shows. All enforcement coming from defendants looking for help defend the situations, apparently were ignored.
Please could your reviews this documents mentioned below?:

This supportive documents has demonstrated early that there wasn’t any neglect issues to support the separations of theirs five minor Childs from shelter, as the same times, theses explanations bars SCO foster care agency intention to continue holding theirs Childs by so longed; that’s unconstitutional and should be abusive.
Why: SCO agency had considered necessary the permanency in foster care of Franco’s Childs based on the fact that parents have refused cooperate with their “services plan programs” procedures. Making up petitions to Family Court tending to force defendants comply [with] as they had indicated repeatedly. This continuation harms more emotionally all family members making longed wait by return children back to father’s.
That “services plan programs” must begin with mental evaluation to became defendants disables, by default, and eligible for Mental Health treatments with prescriptions acceptances, assessments for therapies as well as participate in parenting class or educational training, before of, be considered eligible for fulfill some public apartments-housing applications or be transfer to other special housing program in shelter entity or dwelling facilities what’re accepting peoples impacted by mental illness or others sick capital illness conditions as HIV…
The New York State Childs Protective System at Central Register SCR-reported the following procedures that have to be completed before OCS agency entitle clients for “need of services” or “Services Plan Programs”. Steps to follows: a) Refer to CPS, b) Investigate the accusations, c) verification at Court, d) sanctioning-determination if guilty-Indicated, e) regarding needs of services,
f) find provider of this Services… At that point its when SCO agency must intervene for provide their “Services Plan Programs”. Some fundamental steps doesn’t had been done with the Franco case procedures, its first determine if they are “Indicate” as neglectors because was in mental impaired status and conditions.
Defendants father’s strongly disagrees because theses SCO agency procedures forcing them, shall force them meets exactly with targets. Respondents should consider this imposition as double abuses make by SCO creating records assessments and summating kids into therapies, applying in them medications, through that practices become them candidates on to have such mental disparity in the near future; its would endanger all family lives forever increasing trauma and jeopardizing the high educations for theirs Childs because persons with mental illness records shall no qualify for economic federal credit to attend university educations…, at the same times fathers can’t apply for valuable jobs been considered crazies or under threatening below such disabilities in records… and the OCS agency indirectly will continue, re-allocating funds from Franco’s hide bank account by cover up mental illness and threatening what they’ll create with such dynamics…
The SCO-St. Christopher Ottilie agency’s written policies had offered conflictive guidelines or no guidance at all, accessing as obligatory theirs “services plan program” procedures to every clients even without have previous medical records of mental illness diagnosis’s, its implementation had resulted in an unlawful interferences with their clients Liberty interest in the care and custodies of theirs children, it’s a VIOLATION OF THE CONSTITUTION as stables Title 42, Chapter 21, Subchapter 1. Section 1983 Civil action for deprivation of rights.
Otherwise SCO agency, no matter how well-intentioned might be its goals of “services plan procedures“, would continue to break defendants families apart rather than keep them together;
it would punish rather than heal.
SCO-Ms. Olinda Hernandez knew with anticipations that defendants father’s: doesn’t had record of violence domestics nor drugs-alcoholic status, reasons by which fathers doesn’t have confusions about responsibilities for deal effectively with their children needs. The children ages range between 7 to 17 years olds and have lived since theirs borne times together with their natural fathers, only. The Franco parents have lives experiences taking care of theirs minor all the way.
Now, like at is writes early: the reviewing of supportive documents, included theses medical records documents received from ACS by Ms. Patricia B. DeCola, sq. and gives copies to Franco’s for elaborate a responses. The documents would demonstrate that there wasn’t any neglect issues to considerer nor any mental impairments situations against any Franco’s kids at the moment when were removed from NAFR shelter as is confirm in print chart reports signed by Mr. Geo Joseph, LMSW from Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center; Say: “Hearing Impaired
no, Visual Impairedno, SW High Riskno risk factors identified, SW Mod Risk -placement/housing assistance other than shelter, SW referral sentreferral will be sent by system, AssessmentAppearance/funct/nutr: no distress, Neuro/Resp/Card: no acute respiratory distress normal breath sound-, skin/Extr: pulse normal full range of motion comments: denies any complaints at present, no physical injury noted.”Another emergency admission records chart report:
“Discharge disposition
treated & released, Who: other ACS worker Method: Verbal. Instructions written instructions verbalizes adequate understanding regarding demonstrates adequate understanding related to follow-up care routinely, Clinic Referral: PMD pt re-examined by Dr. Pinkert. Socially cleared by Mr. Joseph. Discharged in stable condition to the care of the ACS worker (Jennifer Vega Bronx ACS unit #318) as per MD.” Follow up instructions were provided.This document chart group —continued—, telling relate all Franco’s kids in separate pages:
“Patient is a 14 years old African American Female and her siblings Hilda Franco MR#31831947, Jimmy Franco MR#2238790, Paul Franco MR#2238789, and Joel Franco MR#1693448 were brought in by ACS worker Ms. Jennifer Vega of Bronx ACS Unit #318, Phone (718) 933-4171 /Cell 347-8605284 for medical clearance for Temporary Placement. As per Ms. Vega she removed the children from their biological parents Maria Franco (37) and Aridio Franco (56) Lives in Nelson Family Shelter 718-299-5550 based on investigation that she completed on a case ID #5406544 that reported against the parents on 06/06/2007. The allegation was inadequate guardianship and lack of food and clothing.”
This writer met with the Patients and patients denies any abuse, neglect or maltreatment at this time. Also case was discussed with Attending Physician Dr. Pinkert and she stated that she examined the Patients and no signs of abuse, neglect or maltreatment has been noticed at this time.
Since Dr. Pinkert has no additional information at this time, Patient is socially cleared for discharge to ACS CPS M. Jennifer Vega for Placement. By Geo Joseph, LMSW. July 16, 2007.”
Furthermore Ms. Jennifer Vega (the person who visited the family at NAFR shelter) in the Child Protective Record Summary of July 19, 2009 page #42; under SAFETY ASSESSMENT comments: “On 6/6/07 CPS was unable to make a home assessment as parents refused to allow CPS into the home. On 6/14/07 CPS executed an entry order and was able to make assessment of the home. CPS observe that the home was neat and clean, however there were clothes thrown about the home, mattresses had springs out of them, there were holes in the walls and the faucet in the bathroom was leaking. Parents refuse to allow anyone into the apartment and shelter is unable to make repairs. CPS observed hat there as a working smoke detector, a carbon monoxide and there was sufficient food in the home. The children state that parents go to food pantries on a daily basis. CPS observed unexplained marks on the children’s bodies, however was told that the marks itch. CPS requested to have children seen by a doctor, but parents refused. On 7/16/007 children were remanded to ACS and removed from the home. CPS took the children to the doctor, however the children did not have any marks in their bodies. The doctor stead that any mark over a month old would have disappeared by now and that next time the children should be brought immediately.”
Also the Child Protective Record Summary in page #10 on middle of paragraphs, is writes “The family did report that their PA case was cut off over 7 months ago. CPS observed that the mattresses in the apartment had springs sticking out and that there were holes in the wall.”
So there wasn’t punishments or missing foods, guardianships, cloths, or mental issues… The issues what had arouse it “neglect case” to court should be with the purpose to legalize some bad and illegal business procedures hiding benefits from lawsuit what there are on favor or defendants.
Its “THE DOWN THE ROAD” case story, how should be known after OTDA Fair Hearing #4138306Y, when victims family identify publicly their case family using such name in 2004 year.
Here in New York state there are considered as enemies of the State when trying to reach public services, didn‘t qualify for any services, been rejected every where going, or when tray contact some other resources or services over phone, get nothing… Its extremely difficult… (look like be persecute or monitored by powerful network, every where…).
This situation involve issues considered Confidential a Federal or State level. But parents are rendered along all the way down… having identity theft and immigration fraud on them.
Maybe there are Federal or State investigations all ready concluded around that issues as well as Superior Court procedures completed… But parents are in the shadow without properly be defended while community group staff’s denies access and opportunity to be informed or contacted by someone else entrusted for resolve something impartially…
Why important authorities even the ACS commissioner’s can’t stepping forward for prevent the continuation of such network abuses, saving the Court, the system, the country future…
. Under that circumstances in which families are forced to live as homelessness, basically because of the unsolved identity theft fraud situation remain unsolved affecting adults and Childs simultaneously and community nonprofit organizations misleading the Court repeatedly didn’t complaining with several OTDA State Fair Hearing that Franco’s won. Example, in OTDA-NYC #4138306Y, #4138248L, #4679864J, #4802502Z, #4803371Z; in Westchester County #3928558Y; 3794963Y; File 37454 -Y34754/02; Y37754/02 it’s the last one mixed using different Index Court as #SP 2002-3092 without provide proper documents to defendants, dues by Westchester Putnam Legal Service Ms. Nancy J. Marrone. In Massachusetts the Court #SP 2000-0020 is reporting about $8,000.000 in benefits, combined with #99-5526-B; #99-J-702; #93-1793-B.
In New York there was successful lawsuit reporting about $2,000.000 in benefit favorable for defendants based in their housing discrimination case SDHR# 3-H-NR-03-1255374-H, Inquire #156564, HUD# 02-03-0576-8.
At the day of today community agencies group doesn’t pretend comply with any family court decision favorable for Franco’s, please check the profile Docket No.: NN-16235-39/ 07 and procedures; the Yonkers City Court case Docket # 08-4021 procedures; this was cleared by Legal Aid Society lawyer’s with their number #45-2265; but community group re-dues it in Court, overturning previous decisions.
The community group also had litigated by do no comply, on times, with previous agreement, all ready due since years before… why?… because its about hate?…
Might be entitlements for House, Car, Bank account and others benefits previous their children be removed, but the parents Franco’s hadn’t access for be legally defended properly nor be informed about what’s going on at different levels…they have remind lacked, isolated, monitored and controlled by agencies linked personnel‘s… Its mean discriminated and tortured all the way down… None one should come before defendants with a helpful guideline to stop abuses…
THE PERMANENCY IN FOSTER CARE
DOESN’T REPRESENT THE SAFETY AND WELL BEEN FOR THE CHILDS
Now if this hearing for permanency is planning the goal for return the children to parents as had been indicated. Agency must cooperate with the BF’s conditions of homeless facilitating the discharge of their Childs to PATH homeless intake for shelter housing procedures, or relocate them.
The permanency hearing to maintain Franco’s children in foster care doesn’t represent the well been for the family. “Children are under temporary removal status…”
• Agency has denied shows children to parents but after first months in foster care.
• Agency doesn’t make reasonable efforts to free children Franco’s regarding the thru about accusations.
• Agency denied to fathers, from years, opportunity by contact their children over phone at foster care home. Fathers provided cell phones to all kids after be separated one each others, but Ms. Olinda Hernandez OCS caseworker supervisor denied and instructed foster parents for take away the phones…Two times all phones (six units) were confiscated and never returned back to owner parents.
• Agency denied additional day visit while children are under school vacations. Fathers were forced to cover up bus transportations cost (during schools vacations) for their children be able for coming every Tuesday at OCS agency visit.
• Agency, over two years holding the children, had allow only one day in Christmas by fathers share outside agency with their minors.
• Agency doesn’t provided adequate medical attentions to children when getting flu contamination: Joel Franco continued with flu-like allergies since years, no appropriated attentions to stop that contamination or allergy had been shows. Him is loosing weight.
• Paul (now 7) and Jimmy (now 8) were hospitalized and agency doesn’t allow fathers to be with them for provide emotional support to their kids or take involvement in that matters. Also agency staffs doesn’t advised previously to parents about any activities relate with the kids.
• Hilda Franco getting contamination in her body like at psoriasis, agency never had provide medical supplies nor appointment with doctor to assist her.
• Based on pre-elaborated foods like at Pizza and fries Chinese cooked, Hilda and Paul have became obese-over weight.
• During year Childs weren’t dressing properly nor according with stations. And when minors getting diarrhea doesn’t getting appropriate attention for cleaning up.
• During year children’s weren’t allows to see television while living with Mrs. Russo foster home, been forbidden open the refrigerator for take cold water or milk, can’t stand in the living room.
• In occasions Nory (now 17) and Hilda (now 15) were left outside home during colds winter waiting long time for foster mother open the door, longed hours. Nory-Hilda call the Police by getting into Ms. Dunkley foster home.
• During several months assisting at schools Nory-Hilda without care-fares bus transportation available; both was asking for money to the safe polices schools by returns to foster home. At the moment when fathers knew about that irresponsibility putting at risk our daughters, fathers starting covering their schools transportation cost until getting the free school card-fare.
• In Ms. Gorcon foster home, Paul were hit several times by her son, Ms. Gorcon never intervene to stop the fight between kids because her son was oldest and strongest then Paul… the same way when kids fight or discuss among themselves, foster staffs nor agency intervened with correctives counseling… there aren’t any disciplinary orientations for children well behaves. Today their conduct had changed drastically…
• Foster mother Staff’s doesn’t expending times for review schools homework’s to little kids.
• Since longed times children aren’t allow visits one each others, even living in same neighborhood. The Foster mother Marie Gentillion imposed to Nory working for her like at housekeeper by $10.00 at weeks plus “choice-work”.
Why SCO-St. Christopher Ottilie agency continue holding the five minor Childs and consequently the parents, money and benefits; when it’s the agency that are pursuing against entire family in Court procedure?… Its too much power against vulnerable family individual. HELP US !!.
Why State Court can’t assign different foster care agency to stop bad agency influences in procedures or better identify behavioral accusations against parents and kids?…
Why authorities and the Court have rendered the family along inside that SCO agency who have already delinquent record of previous investigations filed in New York Attorney General Offices…?
Finally would introduce the same conclusion petition indicated before in Order to show cause testimony. Say:
Conclusion
Using combine opinion to aimed the process defendants would conclude telling:
“The court maybe would conclude that ACS / OCS polices and practices has violated the due process rights of the Franco parents and their children were not to be separated by the government unless both parent was medically and procedural diagnostics as no appropriates to provide care for their Childs; also, maybe the circuit court could have before them an Rules procedural due process with question, if whether The New York Laws could permits a presumption removal if would appropriate based on non-previously investigated accusations about neglect neither mental health status no-verified, when accused doesn‘t had having previously any mental health records probability but yes maybe some Federal Funds entitlements to investigate…”
Defendants Fathers are praying hopeful that State Court should granted Order for:
(a) An opportunity of relieve our five innocents children for live independent of Community Agency’s group and/or provide benefits of Witness Protection Laws pursuant to 18 U.S.C.A. 3521 et. Seq.; been probably raise to an independent house or temporary hotel while court procedures is conclude…. Perhaps preventing continuous threats…
(b) Stand away of these “public assistances services“ provide using “illegal” contract. If judiciary authorities might disposal reviews all records by uncover up criminal activities or persecutions toward defendants maybe perpetrated by Community group or how they’re named themselves “The Peoples of The New York State”.
© And then disposal of as appropriate by honorable judge Mr. Clark V. Richardson.
Therefore, respondent making it respectfully requests that Court grant the relief requested herein.
Date: October 19, 2009.-

care
I was first a Childcare Teacher for 10 years before I became a nanny. I have been a nanny for 2 years now, and I love it, the A family is great. If your heart is in loving children then you will treat them right while they are in your care. Some people are nannies for different reason. For those who just need a job and don’t care about the child, that nanny will end up treating that child bad. Sometimes it depends on how the parents are treating that nanny. Think about it, a
low paid nanny job, will give you what you ask for, but nannies, don’t treat that child bad. Parents treat that nanny with love and understanding that caring for a child is not easy than you think. For the welfare of your child is always in the hands of the nanny while he or she is being your child nanny. Being a nanny, we have a lot of hats to fill.

What's my Job again?
Hello Readers,
This is my first time here and thought I could share my story and maybe get some feedback. I’ve been working as a nanny for the same family for about two years. This is my first job as a nanny and I think it’s going to be my last. I’ve been thinking about leaving this family and the job. But I have a very strong attachment to these two children, which I have practically raised. I started working when I was 19 and now I am 21. It has been one of the most challenging job I’ve ever had, especially going into childcare without know very much about kids.
When I first got the job I was told I would only be caring for the kids and general cleaning up, but only after the KIDS! As of today, I’ve been cooking for the whole family and cleaning the whole house, I’m talking about the whole house! I cleaned out the garage and the yard! I take care of the parents dinner, laundry, and picking up after them. I handle everything in the house, phone calls and paying the gardeners and even the handy mans. I’m running this home. Teachers talk to me about the kids and not even to their own mother. I’m playing the role of the mother, father, big sister, teacher, housekeeper, and everything in between. I I’m so sick of it. I don’t know how it got to this point.
The kids I watch, the boy 8 who has ADD, OCD, and boarder line Autism. And isn’t very easy to watch. And the little girl who is 6 and is pretty easy work with. She isn’t as dependent on me as much as the older brother but still is very needy.
The mother is very demanding and hard to keep a conversation with her because she talks so much that she doesn’t leave me a second to speak, I have to text her to get one simple answer.
The problem I’m having , well one of them is that they just got this puppy and he’s always making a mess in the home. I feel like I’m taking care of three kids and it’s gotten way out of hands. I want to demand more money but then I know she’s going to start asking me to do more things in home. I also thought maybe I just tell her that I can’t keep up with everything and need her to lighten up my load. Then I’m worried she would pay me less or something like that. She’s a business women, she’s good at talking people into things and getting what she wants. Which probably explains why I’m in this position. I feel used and abused. And I know its my fault. But I need to figure a way to get myself out of this mess. What my options are.
I’m a full time student and a full-time nanny. I’m only 21 and yes $500 a week isn’t bad money. I live alone so I need the job to pay for my living, car, ect.. But I don’t want to work like a salve and be a mother to some other person’s kids!
