compelled to do every time her former "nurse" went downstairs to her
meals, or had her "afternoon off." But when the mother wished to be with her children, and that was very often, the employee who was in the nursery at the time, left the room immediately to attend to other household duties. Both employees were on duty at 7 A.M., a most necessary arrangement where there are small children in a family. The first employee prepared and served breakfast for the family, while the other employee took full charge of the children, giving them their breakfast in the nursery, and taking them out afterwards for a walk. At 10 A.M., she returned with the children, and she was then off duty for two hours. The mother generally chose this time to be with her children; if however, she had any other engagement, the first employee was on duty until noon and could be called upon to look after them. _First Employee_ From 7 A.M. to 12 M. 5 hours From 5 P.M. to 8 P.M. 3 hours ------- 8 hours _Second Employee_ From 7 A.M. to 10 A.M. 3 hours From 12 M. to 5 P.M. 5 hours ------- 8 hours |
