If what your former employer is saying is true, it's not libel. She has the right to free speech. I agree with a poster way earlier in the thread that you could create your own website explaining yourself and how you have realized your errors and have grown since, etc.
You could also contact the former employer, apologize, and explain how you have changed your ways and ask them to take their website down.

I would not create a website saying negative things about your employer.

Don't be a dick. People change. The grudge-holder is the nutcase here. She's gone above and beyond to punish. She's vindictive and nasty. Not ok.

Prove you believe that OP has changed by entrusting your children to her in the same way as OP's former employer.

It doesn't sound like op is working with children anymore. Yes, she screwed up, but that shouldn't haunt her the rest of her life and impact her employment in unrelated fields.

This sum it up. People on here love the drama. I doubt OP will be back now.

Were you a tutor? Did you lies about knowing the subjects?

Get married so you can have a new legal last name. Do a greencard wedding! Then you'll get paid.

She never even said that she was a nanny or in childcare.

No, but she did say that it involved her employer's children. If she wasn't hired to provide childcare but in some other capacity that didn't involved the employer's children and she managed to do something to endanger the employer's children anyway, that's arguably even worse.

Agree.

Totally agree. If we enable people to move on from a mistake made years ago, and not repeated in subsequent jobs, why the next thing you know, we will be abolishing private property, and UN guys in black helicopters will be forcing us all to eat broccoli. MAGA#

The mom is almost as nutty as the messy live in nanny. Yes always a good idea to have strangers live in your home and watch your children. (NOT)

Are there any ideas that don’t involve a lawsuit or pissing her off further? I want to apologize but it’s been so long and she won’t even agree to see me.

Nanny here- You need to change your name.

Hugs OP.

Agree. We need to stop giving legal advice and show off where we really shine. Our Internet sleuthing skills. DCUM, figure out who this is!

I'd say there is a more than decent chance that she is the caregiver a PP referenced above. If so, I would think the previous employer might be amenable to taking down her post if the OP no longer is working in childcare. OP's transgressions were pretty awful.....do people change that drastically?

LOL You don't even know what she did. She's asking for advice, not your 101 theories on what she might have done.

Sounds like OP does not like consequences to her decisions and behavior.

Clearly the distribution of income in America is just, and any problems finding employment mean you are do not work hard enough. Why do you hate freedom?

This is not it. Post does not mention nanny's name ("Yvette" is the mom).

OP, do some soul-searching and make sure you've owned your mistakes. Then, either send an apology letter and/or bury the results on google. Lots of way to do this, described upthread. Good luck.

I would not imagine going this ballistic about anything but danger to my family.

ok. Ignore this post. I obviously did not read beyond the first page.
