( james ) kron four's terisa estacio... takes a look at this new trend... and tells us caretakers think all about it. agency: "we are seeing parents request don't allow children to be on screen time while with nanny or babysitter. babysitter: "i have friends who see that clause and questioned it." mom: "when i had a nanny, i wanted the updates." "au pair - i can see both sides." it is the latest trend to hit parenting how much is too much when it comes to kids, computers other electronic screens.. and the controversy it is rolling over

into contracts between parents and their caregivers. lynn perkins, urban sitter. "i think overall, technology has lead to some improvements in society and with kids. but now it seems, there is a growing awareness that too much has negative psychological behavioral impacts with kids and so parents are pulling back on how much screen time kids can have."lynn perkins is with urban sitter, an agency which connects parents with nannies and sitters through their social networks and contacts. perkins tells me she has seen a growing trend where parents are specifically asking their care givers to sign contracts which spell out strict limits covering screen time.perkins. i think they are looking at this as paying a care provider to spend time with their kids and i think bond with the care provider and you can not really do that when you are putting an ipad in front of the child.brittany. when i started in 2011, there was not much guidance, but now parents are asking to monitor social media and to pull back,

especially at night before going to bed. brittany miller works as a care provider for urban sitter. brittany. i have not had that contract, but many of my friends question that, but i think it is good to have those rules out before you start your job. i can see both sides, i can see the value of screen time, some kids love snapchat, and that is a great way to connect and we send the pictures to their parents at work.i just make sure that i am abiding to the parents guidelines, it is their own and their rules.parent. "i think this is more about the relationship you have with your nanny." a mom of two young children, cathleen says she can't imagine not using a screen time to help with kids during the day and thus believes placing a binding contract on nannies cracking down on their ability to use a screen seems like the wrong tactic.cathleen. i want to see those pictures of my kids when i am at work, so i want them to be using the phone. claudia wilson works full-time and has three children under 8. she and her
8:52 am
husband host an au pair to help with caring for their kids while they work. claudia. i think it sets an tone in the home to have a contract that not enforceable and not realistic. in addition to restricting kids screen time, some contracts limit when a care provider can or can not be on their own phone. perkins says she has seen problems arise, but more often from those outside the families circle weigh in. perkins. we hear from other parents that may witness a nanny on the phone at the park, with a critical eye, but it could be taken out of context, a quick text to parents about something important.perkins, urban sitter. i am a big fan of being up front with child care provider, making expectations with an open dialog. trend of nanny contracts covering screen time is or fades is uncertain according to perkins and others, but
