Boy & Girl twins at Holmby Park

I was at Holmby Park this morning at around 11 a.m. when a nanny came with boy/girl twins. I noticed her right away, as we also have b/g twins, but more because she was being really rough with them. The whole time she was there she had a scowl on her face & was jerking the kids around & speaking really harshly towards them. The poor babies looked so bewildered & sad. I tried to make friendly contact with her so I could get info but she basically brushed me off & moved to another area of the playground with them.

I was with a friend who also noticed her & remarked on her behavior.
She gave us a very uncomfortable feeling as she seemed really irritated & rough with the children who were doing nothing at all & were only 15 months old (the only info I could get from her). In my opinion, this is a woman who does not enjoy being with children & I would be devastated to know that my babies were being treated that way.

Babies: boy & girl 15 months old, blonde hair. Girl in pink sweater, boy in blue pants & orange long sleeve T. Both walking w/ assistance. Combi black & tan, side by side stroller.

Nanny: Maybe mid-thirties, heavy set, Hispanic. Spoke only Spanish
with the babies but understood when I asked how old they were.
Wearing a navy short sleeved T & blue & white Nike sneakers. Short black hair in pony tail.

I HIGHLY suggest to all parents that you have someone your nanny doesn't know check on your children when she takes your children out......many people show their true colors when they think the parents aren't around!

TAYLOR at Burbank Park

Dear mommies,
It has come to my attention through a VERY reliable source that on
Thursday, November 1st at about 9:30 a.m., a little boy, named TAYLOR,
about 2 and a 1/2 years old, dressed in a Buzz Lightyear (Halloween)
costume was at Burbank Park with his nanny and a group of other nannies
and children. My source observed Taylor having an physical altercation
with another child (as toddlers do!), and the nanny grabbed him, began
hitting him and yelling at him calling him a "bad boy!", etc. Clearly
this child needed redirection - NOT physical or verbal abuse!!! My
source took it upon herself to step in and try to redirect the nanny,
who not only became defensive toward my source, but the other nannies
came to her defense as well. My source observed Taylor very upset and
unable to console. As a mother, I cannot imagine this happening to my
child with the person whom I intrust their care with!!! If ANY of you
have an idea of who this child belongs to, PLEASE forward this
information to the parents.

Nanny of twins in Venice

I just want to put the word out there. Today, 11/1/07, at almost
3pm, I was at Ross on Lincoln in Venice, when I encountered a nanny
of infant twins with a 12/13 year old girl who seemed to be her
daughter.

While I was looking through the rack, one of the infant twins was
crying hystarically in a strollar. The nanny continued shopping,
pointing out to the teen that a sweater was cute. She completly
ignored the infant. Then she checked out at the register, still
ignoring the infant, waited for the teen to pay for her items and
then they left. The whole scene took about 25 minutes, all the time
the infant cried hystarically and kicking his legs. The nanny never
once picked him up to console him or even looked at him to make sure
he was ok.

I am a nanny and a parent and I was completly mortified by the
nanny's behavior. This infant clearly needed attention.

The nanny was was wearing a bright neon pink long sleeved shirt and
jeans. She is hispanic and spoke spanish to the teenaged girl. The
twins, one of which was a boy, were in a red Maclaren twin stroller
and the twins seemed to me to be less than 2 months old. The infant
crying still had more of an "infant" cry. I believe that the family
must live with in walking distance, because they did not go to a car
and walked out of the parking lot heading South on Lincoln.

If you know who the twins might be, please contact the
parents and let them know.
