Nanny no show - should we call police? Should we find a new nanny?

If it didn't get deleted it's probably not a troll which means you're not as smart as you think you are.

OP here - Not sure why you would think I was a troll. Didn't think there was anything wrong with my question. Finally heard from our nanny. Was in a bad car accident and taken to hospital. Have the note from the ER and a copy of the police report of the accident.

She was in a bad car crash, and she brings you an ER note? You're a piece of work, op. And a joke.

I take it you've never been to the ER and been discharged with paperwork and instructions? Lucky you.

On the contrary, I have, but no note since I was in school.

No "proof" needed if I'm out sick.

If you just didn't show up to work, didn't call, didn't contact the family when you were late ... You assume you'd have a job waiting for you? What this nanny did showed a lot of integrity.

I can not imagine under any circumstances that I would not notify my employer that I would not be in at the time I was supposed to be there. Unless both my husband and I were knocked unconscious for HOURS. But still, I'd be calling/email my boss immediately after I called a family member. A short, message " In a bad car accident, will call later with an update." If I couldn't do it - my husband would.

She's had three occasions where she didn't show up for work on time without a notification - most for hours at a time. I'd be getting a new nanny. Oversleeping till10am is terrible.

If I later provided proof I had been in the hospital following a car accident I would absolutely have a job.

I agree somethings not adding up with this nanny. I'm sure the hospital had a phone she could've used or she could've had a relative/friend contact them. If I were OP I would've been started looking for a new nanny.

But it's a good story, isn't it?
