MYOB or tell the parents about their nanny.

Of course you tell. I told a mom after I saw the kid’s granny slap her kid. Reporting on someone’s mother is even more awkward than reporting on a nanny, but you have to do it.

I hope the nanny in question slap your nosey nanny on sight and your kid will now be the outcast on the playground no other nannies will want to interact with your tattletale in everyone’s business nanny and they certainly won’t want their charges playing your kid. I’d MYOB if I were you and your nanny

Wow. You're not mature enough to be a parent or a nanny.

You’re actually creepy. [/quote

FWIW ALOT of nanny’s especially Spanish speaking ones will pretend they’re so caring/concerned and make up lies to get a nanny fired just so she can recommend a “buddy”. I’ve had this happen to me before and thankfully 2 other parents were there and told my boss that wasn’t the case- My charge nor I were even at said place I was allegedly ignoring their child and on my phone. The nanny who was working next door to me wanted her sister to have the job and not me. She got fired and started an unlicensed daycare with said sister. I’d really tread carefully and MYOB

One example is not indicative of what “ Spanish speaking“ ones do.

One example of a parent that knows nothing about Nannie’s sabotaging and lying on other Nannie’s. Please tell the mom so and while you’re at it I’d asp observe your “perfect” nanny I’m sure she’s not always 100%

You're sooooo angry and defensive. Gee, wonder why?

Neighbors MYOB'd when they saw a young teenager going through their trash in the middle of the night for something to eat. It was only after the girl disappeared and her body was found in a landfill that they all cared enough to tell.

If that child had been going through my trash in the middle of the night, she would have been at my kitchen table eating behind a locked door that I was guarding with a shotgun until police arrived. And if social services DARED return that child to her home, the story would be at every news station. Sometimes it takes one person to force people to care. When everyone MYOB, kids end up dead.

I have never observed direct physical abuse but she is very gruff and intimidating and he has cried a number of times due to the way he was being spoken to. Believe me I wasn't sure about approaching the mom and I was not involved but the parents basically did nothing.

I applaud those nannies who took the time to rat out the bad nanny.

I'm the one who wrote this post and recently I witnessed a safety incident with an infant. This time I spoke to the parents. Parents backed the nanny. Can't make this stuff up. (Same nanny)

Never again. We were helping out a friend of DN for awhile who kept farting in the car. Thought I'd never get the smell out some days.

If it was bad (like not using a car seat) you can call cps.

They do want to know, so they can kick your ass.

Also, they know, and they have their own side piece.

It wasn't a cps type of situation and moreover if the parents don't care why more should I?

I’ve seen good nanny’s who actively sit with children at the playground/walk with them on the equipment, hold their hand going down the slide and would likely think not doing these things is dangerous and inattentive. I’ve also seen good nanny’s who watch from a distance and are responsible but do not interject on play unless there is a reason to.

When she let the child walk in the field was she watching the child and ready to run over if necessary? Was there anything obviously dangerous nearby? And what, specifically, is rough?

I would want to know but I’d get some more specific details so you can provide this.

Some people genuinely think that keeping your distance and not hovering is better for kids, and that's totally reasonable. And it's certainly not at all clear that it's neglectful. The roughness is concerning, but I'd want more details.

Do tell, but be prepared for denial.

I would tell the parents and be prepared for complete dismissiveness/denial. But still tell.
