[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, I do not micromanage but she should tell me if she's going to take my kid somewhere he doesn't normally go to. My former nanny lives 20 miles away so what would be the point in going to her house to eat lunch? And yes, [b]she's asked me before if she could take my kid to her house and I said no.[/b]

I forgot to mention the photos were dated right around when she was moving out of her other apartment. There were moving boxes in the photos so I'm guessing she brought my son to her house while she was moving.

And no she doesn't have newer references, her last day was a couple weeks ago. I would think another family would want to know something like this. [/quote]
Just curious, why did you say no?  Did you not trust her?[/quote]

Hi OP here again, I just don't see the point in her taking my son to her house. He has class (art, gym, etc) everyday in the morning, then lunch at home, nap, sometimes a play date so I don't see what benefit he gets from being in the car 30+ minutes each way to hang out at her house. She obviously asked me because she had a personal (very long) errand to run, but that's what leave should be used for.  [/quote]

As a nanny, I get why you are upset but I still couldn’t work for you or ppl like you. You are not alone in your feelings. However, you are making a mountain out of a molehill and willing to sabotage someone else’s career just bc you feel disrespected. You may not think your micromanage but you do based on your responses and reaction. You want to be vindictive and this isn’t worth it. Was your child traumatized? And be honest, how annoyed would you have been if your nanny asked for the day off to pack to move? Would you have paid her normal rate or less? [/quote]

+1 I am not a nanny and never have been, but please don't sabotage her career over this.  You should talk with her.  If you are NOT willing to discuss this with her, then I would not bring it up to future employees behind her back.  Either talk to her or don't, but don't do the sneaky/cowardly thing, sort of a 'kiss-off' at the end.

And FWIW, I'm a person who BECAUSE of two problematic nannies in a row, became a SAHM.  So I'm someone who would normally jump to your side, OP.  But I just think this is a one-off.  [/quote]
