WWYD if you found out former nanny lied to you

[Anonymous]

Do you have any documentation that you prohibited her from taking your child to her apartment? If you give a poor referenced and she sues for loss of income/slander, can you prove you said no. Her providing the pictures to you imply permission was given.

So OP here for the very last time. I just decided to call my former nanny and ask her about the pictures. She seemed shocked that those pictures were in the album. I just asked her to be truthful with me.

Long story short - she took my son to her new apartment (boyfriend's apartment) 2 days in a row and her boyfriend's mother watched him all day while she moved. She said sorry and that she should've just taken those days off, but her boyfriend suggested that idea to her so she could keep her PTO days and have them paid out (we pay out anything not used). I told her I was upset and that I probably wouldn't be the best person to use as a reference since I would have to tell her new family the truth about what happened.

Former nanny said she completely understood and said sorry again. I told her good luck and thanked her for taking care of our son for 3 years.

Thanks all for responding! Made me realize I should just talk to her instead of wondering what really happened.

If the nanny had not given you the pictures (what a lovely gift idea), you had no other issues with her, right?

Your child was happy with her and she took care of him. Please stop treating her like a lowly employee and appreciate what she has done for your kid. You seem to be a very nasty person.

I do not expect anyone else to take care of my kid. Sorry, but this is your choice. Seems like your kid was well cared for and generally ok. So pick your poison. A person who stayed at your house and was cold towards your child, or a person who took your child her house because she was moving etc but was generally nice to your child.

Did you get that Law degree from Trump University? Because pretty much everything in the above is incorrect.

Let it go. Why open this can of worms now??? If you have a nanny you must expect that things are happening that you don't approve of. Yes nannies are not clones of you and you must be release control.

+1 I would be livid if my nanny left my small child with someone I'd never met without my permission. Good thing you asked her what really happened and that she was honest about it.

It’s good that you talked to her directly to find out the truth. It’s good that you were honest about the reference.

She sounds like a basically decent person who made an irresponsible, inappropriate decision.

I was 100% anti-OP until I read the nanny’s explanation. Now I’m team OP. While the nanny get some points for finally coming clean what she did was so totally uncool. I would never give that nanny a good reference.

Nannies get fired for much less egregious behavior. OP let her keep her PTO that she got paid for while farming OP's kid off on a stranger.

I can’t believe all these people against OP (even before she posted the last bit). Being a nanny is a JOB. If I ask my boss permission to do something and she says no, I won’t go ahead and do it anyway! It is irrelevant if I am a phenomenal employee I would still get a warning in trouble if I went against policy. This is the same thing! OP said no to the request to take her child to the nanny’s house. She does not need to provide a reason why. Period.
