Many nannies spend their time on phones instead of engaging with your child—leading to safety risks and emotional neglect. At BKK Nanny, our caregivers follow a strict no-phone policy to ensure your child gets full attention and care every moment.
As parents, we hire a nanny not just to supervise, but to engage, teach, and care for our children with full attention. But what happens when your nanny is constantly staring at her phone?
You’ve likely seen it: a child tugging at their nanny’s shirt for attention, while she scrolls through social media or replies to personal messages. It’s frustrating. It’s worrying. And most of all—it’s not okay.
Children are observant. They know when someone is fully present or mentally somewhere else. A nanny glued to her phone isn’t providing care. She’s merely in the room.
At BKK Nanny, we take this seriously. We’ve built our entire training and hiring process around one core belief: children come first, not the phone
A distracted nanny is more than just annoying—it can be dangerous, developmentally stunting, and emotionally neglectful.
Here are just a few examples of what can go wrong when nannies prioritize their phones:
At BKK Nanny, we make it clear from day one: phones are for emergencies and parent communication only
Here’s how we ensure that:
The results are immediate and powerful. You don’t need to be a child development expert to notice the difference when a nanny is fully present.
Absolutely. Nannies are expected to check their phone if they get a call or message from you or BKK Nanny. That’s part of their job.
We use a combination of training, spot checks, and parent feedback. Nannies who break the rule don’t stay on our team.
That’s completely fine. Your nanny can help set up a quick video call or let your child talk to you when needed.
Nannies are instructed to keep their phone nearby but on silent, so they can act quickly in case of emergency without being distracted during normal hours.
You’ll feel the difference. Ask your child how their day was. Watch their behavior. You’ll see how present, attentive care changes everything.
Only if you specifically approve it. Some parents want the nanny to play a song or show a video at a certain time—this is always parent-guided and never default behavior.
Yes! If you’d like photo or video updates, we ask the nanny to take a quick moment and send them—but this is done intentionally, not constantly.
We screen for this upfront. During interviews, we ask direct questions about phone habits, observe behavior, and test presence through scenarios. We hire people who enjoy being with kids, not next to them.
Children grow fast. Every day counts. Every interaction shapes their future.
You’re not just hiring a babysitter—you’re hiring a role model, a guide, a caretaker. Someone who listens, plays, and responds with warmth.
If your nanny is scrolling through her feed instead of watching your child, it’s time to rethink the relationship.
At BKK Nanny, we promise engaged, attentive care—not just presence in the room, but presence in the moment.
