[quote=Anonymous]We have had our nanny for 3 years and she is amazing. When she arrives in the morning she puts her stuff down in our mudroom which usually includes a tote bag with her lunch and some other things. For the past 2 mornings her stuff has reeked of cigarette smoke. Like stinks up the whole area and is very noticeable for the whole day. Oddly I didn’t smell it on her, more so her stuff, but can’t say for sure.

We have never had this issue before in 3 years. She said she didn’t smoke when we hired her, and I don’t think she does unless she started recently. She is divorced so maybe she has a new boyfriend who smokes or something, but regardless it’s a big issue for us and definitely a deal breaker.

How would you approach this? Do we say we have noticed her things smell like cigarettes and that makes us uncomfortable since she is caring for our kids? Do we give it a few more days to see if it’s consistent and then say something? Don’t want to offend her but also not happy about it.[/quote]
