Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
As a nanny, I am concerned about the liability issues I could face with as many as eight neighborhood kids coming over to swim either invited or uninvited. I would be interested in some pool rules also that may protect me in this situation ( i.e. just by saying a parent must be with them, am I no longer liable in the unfortunate event of an accident?) Is there a release visitors could sign that protect both the homeowner and myself?It is a large inground pool with an attached jacuzzi (one side of the pool is bordered with a three foot wall the kids invariably try to jump off. This is strictly prohibited with the two children i watch, aged 3 and 6. They are also not allowed in the pool at any time without my supervision, which they abide by at all times. It is the neighbors children that are my main concern at this point. I have not yet discussed with employer as I was waiting to see if with your expertice you had any further suggestions. Thanks to all for your timely recommendations so far.
As a former pool owner I share your concern. You would only be responsible for an injury if you were found to be negligent in supervising children using the pool. The best rule is generally no children in the pool area without parents present. While a Release could be used, it could always be challenged in court.
The Homeowner should also have a very significant Umbrella Insurance Policy to cover the possibility of such an occurrence. The Home Owner should also speak to their agent to be certain that there coverage would also apply to you under the circumstances of a pool injury.
As another suggestion, whenever there is a special swimming event such as a birthday party, the Homeowner should hire a professional Lifeguard to watch the pool.Ask a similar question
" .... You would only be responsible for an injury if you were found to be negligent ...." is precisely the phrase that concerns me.... Walking inside to get a glass of water or being in the sun too long to adequately supervise... I think you can understand my concern. I may be a bit more jaded than most because I have seen two children close to drown (one attempted to save sister) and there were four lifeguards on duty at the time... granted the pool was a club and was overcrowded at the time... but the younger did suffer brain damage as a result.
Yes. That's a good idea.

Have you approached your employer about this?
A pool or lifeguard may have better thoughts on rules. The type of pool involved, and other factors will be of concern.
You are not going to be eliminate the risk of liability. However, good rules and understanding by guests can go a lont way. Having parents accompany minors may be a good thought.
If I were to pick the #1 rule, it would be no diving. However I can not give you a complete list. I hope this is some help.

I am sorry that there are a few typos here. Unfortunately, the answer box does not lend itself to editing. In my answer above, I meant to say pool expert or lifeguard.
That raises a lot of questions and you are right to be concerned. Do the other kids parents know you are the only adult there? Are kids telling their parents that you are supervising? I can see many ways this could go bad. The homeowners coverage probably excludes employees such as you.
You need to ask owners to not allow kids to be there w/o an adult other than you present.
Though all lawyers have mentioned, I tend to agree that if your children are swimming at the pool they need to be supervised by you (the parent or another responsible adult who assumes responsibility.) In all actuality I think this will very soon cut down on the number of "pool visitors," as parents may not be willing to spend the time supervising their children. These owners are paying dearly for the supervision of their children in this part of PA., An expense not shared by those in the neighborhood to say it as gently as possible.
The homeowner should put up a fence and bump up the homeowner's insurance coverage. A release would not work and likely be void for public policy reasons.Ask a similar question
Your Employer can ask you to watch other kids as part of your job. You also can negotiate not to to it. Ultimately, what it comes down to is that you and your employer need to hash this out. The problem here is figuring out who is in the better position to get what they want. If you think they can't do without you, maybe you have the edge. But unless you have a contract pushing to hard on a point like this case get you fired.Ask a similar question
To improve pool and spa safety, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) launched Pool Safely: Simple Steps to Save Lives, a national public education campaign to reduce childhood drownings, submersion injuries and entrapments.
The CPSC "estimates each year nearly 300 children younger than five drown in swimming pools and spas and more than 3,000 that age go to hospital emergency rooms due to non-fatal submersion injuries. An unknown number of these hospitalizations result in permanent disability, including brain damage. These deaths and injuries are preventable."
Below you will find a link to the Pool Safely website and important information that you can review, download and share with others. For example,
Simple Steps Save Lives:
Learn how simple safety steps save lives in and around pools and spas.
Parents and families can build on their current safety systems at pools and spas by adopting additional water safety steps. Adding as many proven water safety steps as possible is the best way to assure a safe and fun experience, because you can never know which one might save a child's life—until it does.
Never leave a child unattended in a pool or spa and always watch your child when he or she is in or near water
Teach children basic water safety tips
Keep children away from pool drains, pipes and other openings to avoid entrapments
Have a telephone close by when you or your family is using a pool or spa
If a child is missing, look for him or her in the pool or spa first
Share safety instructions with family, friends and neighbors
Learn how to swim and teach your child how to swim
Learn to perform CPR on children and adults, and update those skills regularly
Understand the basics of life-saving so that you can assist in a pool emergency
Install a four-foot or taller fence around the pool and spa and use self-closing and self-latching gates; ask your neighbors to do the same at their pools.
Install and use a lockable safety cover on your spa.
If your house serves as a fourth side of a fence around a pool, install door alarms and always use them. For additional protection, install window guards on windows facing pools or spas.
Install pool and gate alarms to alert you when children go near the water
Ensure any pool and spa you use has compliant drain covers, and ask your pool service provider if you do not know
Maintain pool and spa covers in good working order
Consider using a surface wave or underwater alarm

1. You should not let other children in. You should mention this to your employer. Pools, and particularly, the one you described are accidents waiting to happpen.
2. If you do not follow rule "1" you should make other children come with a parent.
3. Most townships have a rule that there must be a 6' foot fence surrounding the pool. A 3' fence is an added danger and the best thing you can do is enforce rule "1"
It sounds like your employer is dumping more than the responsibility for his kids on you, and you are right to be concerned. I suggest you speak with them about your concerns and let them know that you feel this falls outside the purview of your job responsibilities, and they they could be exposing themselves to a lot of liability by letting kids come over unsupervised. Maybe they will take it to heart.

This was a great vacation spot. The rooms were great. It was peaceful and very few kids. There are 3 pools(2 just a short walk), so you could always find somewhere peaceful to swim. The balcony is nice, they should get a hammock for you to lay on out there. No beach, but great views regardless. For a late night snack the pizza in the resturant in the hotel is fantastic.
No bath in the king suite. I would stay again.

Description: First published in Spanish in 2006,Twenty Theses on Politicsis a major statement on political philosophy from Enrique Dussel, one of Latin America's-and the world's-most important philosophers and a founder of the philosophy of liberation. Synthesizing a half-century of his pioneering work in moral and political philosophy, Dussel presents a succinct rationale for the development of political alternatives to the exclusionary, exploitative institutions of neoliberal globalization. In twenty short, provocative theses he lays out the foundational elements for a politics of just and sustainable co-existence. Dussel first constructs a theory of political power and its institutionalization, taking on matters such as the purpose of politics and the fetishization of power. He insists that political projects must criticize or reject as unsustainable all political systems, actions, and institutions whose negative effects are suffered by oppressed or excluded victims. Turning to the deconstruction or transformation of political power, he explains the political principles of liberation and addresses matters such as reform and revolution.Twenty Theses on Politicsis inspired by recent political transformations in Latin America. As Dussel writes in Thesis 15, regarding the liberation praxis of social and political movements, "The winds that arrive from the South-from N. Kirchner, Tabaré Vásquez, Luiz Inácio Lula, Evo Morales, Hugo Chávez, Fidel Castro and so many others-show us that things can be changed. Thepeoplemust reclaim its sovereignty!" Throughout the twenty theses Dussel engages with Latin American thinkers and activists and with radical political projects such as the World Social Forum. He is also in dialogue with theorists including Marx, Hegel, Habermas, Rawls, and Negri, offering insights into the applications and limits of their thinking in light of recent Latin American political thought and practice.

The Fountain of Life, or in its earlier form the Fountain of Living Waters, is a Christian iconography symbol associated with baptism, first appearing in the 5th century in illuminated manuscripts and later in other art forms such as panel paintings.
The symbol is usually shown as a fountain enclosed in a hexagonal structure capped by a rounded dome and supported by eight columns. The fountain of living waters, fons vivus[1] is a baptismal font (a water fountain in which one is baptized, and thus reborn with Christ), and is often surrounded by animals associated with Baptism such as the hart. The font probably represents the octagonal Lateran Baptistery in Rome, consecrated by Pope Sixtus III (432-440), which was iconographically associated with the fountain of the water of life mentioned in Revelation 21.6.
The best examples date from the Carolingian period: the Godescalc Evangelistary made to commemorate the Baptism of the son of Charlemagne in 781, and in the Soissons Gospels.
In the Ghent Altarpiece: The Adoration of the Lamb by Jan Van Eyck (1438), the Lamb of God stands upon an altar dressed as for the Mass of the Precious Blood, with a blood-red frontal: the Lamb's blood is caught in a chalice, and its Eucharistic intention is signaled by the dove of the Holy Spirit above. In the foreground, offering the other means of grace, is the Fountain of the Living Water surrounded by the faithful. In the Prado, Madrid, is the Fountain of Living Water emanating from the Lamb of God,[2] in which the open fountain is set into the outer wall of Heaven. That the water is not merely the purifying water of baptism is shown by the innumerable wafers that float upon its surface: the two sacraments are represented as one.
In a miniature in a Book of Hours[3], probably painted at Ghent at the end of the fifteenth century, the Fountain of Living Water has given way to a fountain of blood, the Fountain of Life. in which the figure of Christ stands upon a Gothic pedestal at the center and fills the fountain from his wounds, though the aureole that surrounds him identifies him as the transfigured Christ and the location as Paradise.
In Flanders at the close of the Middle Ages an intense devotion to the Precious Blood of Christ gave rise to an iconographic tradition of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, which rendered the theological concept of Grace,[4] expressing Roman Catholic dogma allegorically as a fountain of blood. This transformation was first addressed in Evelyn Underhill in 1910, taking her point of departure an Assembly of Saints and the Fountain of Life of 1596 in Ghent,[5] in which blood from the five Holy Wounds of Christ into the upper basin of a "Fountain of Life"[6] and streams out through openings in the lower "Fountain of Mercy". Saints and martyrs, patriarchs and prophets hold golden chalices of blood, which some empty into the fountain. Below the faithful hold out their hearts to receive droplets of blood.
