As a nanny, your main job is to look over the person you are looking after. Apparently, Jeff Kathrein was the assigned nanny to look over the late son of actor John Travolta.

Jeff had his own statements regarding what transpired on that fateful day. He even stated that Jett could sleep for 12 to 16 hours a day. But regardless, was that sufficient reason to leave a child on his own?

Here is a synopsis of his statement:

Jett, his family and his two nannies had been boating on Jan. 1. They returned to their townhouse at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel at around 6 PM. Jett was tired, went into his bedroom and went to sleep. Nanny Jeff Kathrein watched TV in the adjoining room. The other nanny, Eli, returned to the townhouse at around 11:30 PM. Both Jeff and Eli turned in at around that time. After Jeff got up [the next morning], he went into the bathroom and discovered Jett laying on the floor.”

Before you sleep, should you not check on the child? If you do the math there was sufficient time for Jeff Kathrein to check on Jett Travolta. That is now being disputed.

Now this is not to generalize that all nannies should be put into question. But even if they may seem sane, it still remains that some nannies have “different” means of trying to tend to children. For one thing, there are nannies who are only concerned about being paid and the care for children will not be the same as concerned parents have.
