Neighbor's nanny had a party while employers were out of town

[Anonymous]

I'm sure if this is something where I just need to mind my own business but....my husband and I have neighbors with a live in nanny. We have a cordial and friendly relationship with the neighbors.

Last night we noticed the nanny had a noisy party while our neighbors were out of town. The guests threw empty bottles in people's yards. Not cool. DH and I are discussing if we should just mind our own buiness or just mention the party to our neighbors with in person or email. I have no idea if they agreed to let her host a party or not. I don't really mind if people want to throw parties but I think dumping glass bottles in other people's yards or in the street is extremely disrespectful and potentially dangerous.

I decided to email them. DH cleaned broken glass from four yards :/

Neighbors responsded immediately and confirmed they were out of town and the party was not sanctioned by them I feel bad that this ruined their trip but I'm glad I said something.

Live-in nanny here. Wow. I'm glad you contacted the parents, because that's not acceptable. I never have friends over when my NF is there, and I always make sure that it's ok before I have a dinner party when they are gone, but I provide the food, there is no drinking, and nobody is loud or unruly. It sounds like they hired a college kid instead of a professional.

I would have let the live-in clean up the bottles.

If she weren't a nanny, you wouldn't care. MYOB. Nobody likes snoopy neighbors.

Do you feel bad that you got the nanny fired?

Excuse me, but I'm a live-in nanny, and I've told my NF and a neighbor when the neighbor's nanny was doing inappropriate things. It doesn't matter who it comes from, and the family has a right to know, it's their house, not the nanny's!

I wouldn't, and I hope OP doesn't.

OP here. I don't mind parties but the partygoers dumping empty bottles in several yard was my breaking point. If the neighbors and not the nanny had been responsible I still would have said something. (I probably should have had the nanny clean up the bottled but we just figured it was better to get everything cleaned quicklym.)

I spoke with the family and they were glad I said something
They are gathering more information from other neighbors (one called the police because she heard people fighting outside her house) but yes they probably will fire herm I don't take much joy in that fact but letting someone live in your home and care for your children requires tremendous trust and faith in their good judgment. The nanny did not demonstrate good judgment.

The "nanny" sounds like an irresponsible adolescent. Is she about 19?

Of course anyone would care regardless of who was throwing bottles on your property!!! Nanny or another CHILD.

When will parents learn to stop hiring children to care for their children?


Cue the: "When I was 14 I was caring for 19 kids and extremely responsible..."

OP didn't get the nanny fired. Nanny is to blame. She chose to have a party without permission.

Having a party when the parents are out of town is about as "high school" as anyone can get.

The nanny should be fired for such disrespect and irresponsibility. OP should be glad - a girl with such poor judgement is certainly not responsible enough to care for the health and welfare of children.
