[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The basement isn't place they would enter from, but it is where the playroom is, its very possible she didn't feel comfortable leaving my son in the playroom and going up two floors to bathe her. [b]I have asked her to give them a bath on multiple occasions before bed. [/b]As for the clothes, I don't recall.

FWIW this is a sitter with around 50 positive reviews, who has worked for families in my neighborhood and went to one of the big universities in DC.

I don't think 'll hire her again to be safe. And I think Ill raise at her next doctors appt.[/quote]

WAIT WAIT. You’ve had her give your daughter a bath on multiple occasions before?!? Then what the hell is the problem here. It seems totally logical that if bathing your child was part of her job responsibilities then she might have decided to use the bathroom off the playroom on some occasion if you never gave strict instructions not to. I’m so confused now on why you think abuse might have happened because days/weeks later your daughter mentioned getting her bath in a different bathroom. Sounds like you’re way over-reacting.

OP is viewing this only through her own lens as the homeowner. She would never use the basement shower, so she assumes that no one else would ever think to use the basement bathroom. Sometimes you have to see situations through others' perspectives. The babysitter probably thought the basement shower was a fine option so that she could bathe the 4 year old while also not leaving the 7 year old to his own devices. But she'll ruin the reputation of a babysitter because she couldn't fathom anyone ever choosing to use the basement bathroom. [/quote]

Yep this.  [/quote]
