[quote=Anonymous]I saw a woman last Thursday around dinnertime in downtown Bethesda (outside the Q by Peter Chang) -- I don't know if she was a nanny or a mom but she was seriously off her rocker and I was really tempted to post somewhere so someone can get her some help.  
I was waiting for a bus across the street catty-corner, and was there maybe 10 minutes.  She was standing on the corner the whole time, screeching obscenities at the top of he lungs at passing cars -- really really loud and awful.  At first I thought it was a bad breakup and she was screaming at some guy in a car, but she was screaming at ALL the cars that way.  She was well dressed (black pants, animal print coat, heeled short boots, blonde bun on her head).  I was hoping the stroller was empty, but she turned around and I could see there was a little boy about 1 or 2 in the stroller, just staring at her and I felt so bad for him.  A woman walking by asked if she was okay and she just screamed at the woman.  She finally went into the restaurant (Q) where she hopefully calmed down.

I totally get losing your temper and even yelling the F word despite a kid being there -- but I've never seen anyone just standing there screaming obscenities for so long (except for some of the really mentally ill/high homeless people downtown -- but this would stand out even for one of them).  Really hope that was just a really out of character day for her, and that's not the kid's norm.

But to answer OP, if it were my nanny, I'd want to know.  We had one nanny that was truly awful - luckily my kids were old enough to tell me.  (And there was also a mom who was very nice about it, but alerted me to the fact that the nanny had dropped my six year old off at a playground to meet some people but and then just left without checking to see if the people were there-which they weren't.)
