[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised with all the comments on nannies side. I am with you OP. If she lied about this she probably lied about other things too. We had a similar thing happen with a nanny and ended up firing her. Except our son was much younger and could not tell us anything. Our rule was the nanny had to text us where she was going and be back for his regular nap time. After a while she was dragging him all over town on her personal errands and was skipping his nap if it didn’t suit her. She disregarded our explicit instructions on many occasions, and it took us a long time to figure all this out. You absolutely need to tell the next family.[/quote]

I think people are siding with the nannies because only nannies are responding. You know this forum, everyone makes $30+/hr and should be able to do whatever they want! OP your first mistake was posting on this forum. No good ever comes from the nanny forums. HAH![/quote]

Nope, I am a parent who has hired numerous nannies and babysitters, and I believe OP is being petty and vindictive.  I agree with a PP that if this was one in a long string of troubling incidents, and you dismissed her because of it, then yeah, any reference should reflect that.  But ruining her job prospects because she overstepped once? I also want to know how much severance OP paid, because that might have bearing on why the nanny may not have felt like she could take a vacation day.  Anyway, if she can't find a job, then she'll collect unemployment and OP's unemployment tax rate will go up for any future household workers (OP you did pay her on the books, right?)

Sounds like this nanny loved your kid and basically did a good job.  Why would you screw her over now?  She's a low-wage worker who CARED FOR YOUR CHILD. She can't afford to go that long between jobs.  [/quote]
