My Worst Nanny Work Day. Ever. ;(

[Anonymous]

I've always worried about something like this happening which is why I ALWAYS hold the rail when I go down stairs...with or without kids. People die falling down stairs...not worth the risk to me. I even returned a pair of slippers a mom gave me for Christmas because I didn't deem them stair worthy. I am glad you're OK, as are the kids. Relax and go down holding the rail from now on. If you don't trust the 2 yr old, have her go down backwards.

You weren't professional, I would have fired you on the spot.

You could have killed that child !!

Nanny.

Congratulations. You win the DCUM punctilious A$$hole of the day award.

Accidents happen ALL the time, that’s all it was, an accident. Mom saw the whole thing, and knows what happened. I always tell kids, everything in life is a learning lesson. As other people have mentioned just hold the rail, teach the 2 year old to hold the rail going down the stairs.
This might be random as heck, but were you wearing socks? I’ve fallen down carpeted stairs wearing socks more times than I can count. I try not to wear socks on the carpeted stairs.

Excellent advice, thank you but I actually was barefoot.
It is SUPER hot where I live at right now.
