I posted this on the r/Nanny sub too, but someone suggested I posted it here to get responses from other employers.
I even know which book it was because I've read it before too 😭😭 Knight by Kristen Ashley. The scene she was listening to wasn't a sex scene BUT from what I remember (it's been over a year since I read it) it was a decent way into the book so it wasn't like she accidentally started listening to it without realizing it was a book full of sex. And it's not polite sex either if you get what I'm saying.
I wasn't supposed to be home but I had to come back to the house to get something. I could hear the audiobook from the next room (to give you an idea of the volume level), and when I walked past the door Nanny dove for the phone and shut it off. I didn't say anything at the time because I was surprised and late for work and my son was napping in his room anyway but now I'm wondering if I should??
My son is 2 and sleeps in a bed, and when he wakes up from his nap he leaves his room and goes looking for people. I'm concerned he might get up and Nanny won't immediately notice and he'll wander into the room she's in and hear some of the book. Obviously he won't know what's happening in the book but what if he repeats some of the words? Or remembers it when he's older?? At the same time I've heard people say Nannies are entitled to do what they want on their breaks like reading, listening to music, general relaxing etc. Should I not bring this up and just trust that Nanny will notice when he wakes up and turn off the audiobook? I've never encountered this problem before 😭 If he was older I think it'd warrant a discussion, but he's so little so I don't know!
Also to be clear I'm not judging people for reading/listening to this genre! I personally wasn't a fan but I still read the whole series so take that as you will.
EDIT: Yes it is erotica, it has long graphic sex scenes with BDSM, it's not just a regular romance with a couple steamy scenes.
