Data use on phone while driving and accident...

If it is pandora, it could still be the cause of the distraction, since the initial data use would be from her opening the app and selecting a station. I'd talk with her about it, because even if it was pandora, that wouldn't sit well with me.

Yes let's not take her adult word for it but look at the exact second the data began to transfer and pretend we are experts at data forensics. OP is honestly probably better off just calling the NSA and asking them what her nanny was doing at 11:55:21am.

Thank you PP. Its nice to see the actual issue addressed. OP, get with it. You trust this woman with your children, you should trust that she is telling the truth regarding the accident. I know you pay for the car and the phone, but the second I found out someone was going through my phone usage, I'd be out. You asked, you got an answer. If you don't like it, you need to have an adult conversation with your nanny (amazing how difficult it is for so many MB's to come to this conclusion).

I don't pay 100% attention to my data use so I don't know what would cause those, but I used to manage my company's cell phone plan and when I left that department had a cell phone owned by the company. I absolutely expected no privacy when it came to the company phone. I used it for personal calls sometimes (which they were fine with) but never did anything I wouldn't want them to find out about, because it's their plan to manage. We did have to talk to one employee because he had a huge number of text messages during working hours on his company phone which means he was texting during work instead of working (we don't work in a field where you would text colleagues or clients so there was very little chance they were work related).

Anyway, I don't think it was totally unreasonable for MB to check the phone records. If you want total privacy, use your own phone.

Right, we agree. I think only one person freaked out about her checking? But once she's checked and asked and gotten an answer, time to move on no? If she can't trust the nanny's word for it why is she leaving her kids with this person??

I'm the PP you quoted. Yes- I agree with you. Once the nanny gave her an answer, MB should trust her response. I was more responding to the poster who said they would quit if they found out MB checked the phone records (maybe it was only 1, I thought it was more) because THAT was not unreasonable.

I'm the PP who said they would quit over the checking of the phone records. Let me clarify; it would not be so much that MB checked the records-she pays for it and would be well within her rights to do so-but more so that (imagining that I am OP's nanny) I was asked a question, gave and honest answer, and MB still felt the need to rather sneakily, check up on my story. Bottom line for me, you trust me with your car and your children, trust my word when you ask me a direct question.
