Ugh bad Nanny trial today

[Anonymous]

We interviewed a lady over the weekend and she came after school for a few hours as a paid trial.
I was working but my husband was home

The Nanny was twirling our 3 yo daughter around in the kitchen, and H told her to slow down as it might be dangerous.
They went into another room and a few minutes later my daughter was crying out in pain.
H asked the Nanny what had happened and she said she didn’t see as she had gone to attend to our son.

H didn’t believe Nanny so he pulled up the nest cam footage on his phone and say our daughter asking the Nanny to twirl her again, which Nanny did but then lost her grip and let daughter slip, she slammed into a table

Nanny was sheepish and H told her she could leave
Nanny sent me a text to say she was really sorry and felt really bad, I replied that she should be sorry as she wasn’t honest with H about what happened to our daughter. I was mad because I hate dishonesty and the tone of her email was that it had never happened before do we should dismiss it and hire her.

H said I shouldn’t had sent her back the txt, what do you all think?

You can't hire her. Our nanny has accidentally injured our kids multiple times in the six years we've worked together. We've been told every SINGLE time.

Honesty counts.

No of course not, my H literally told her to leave when he saw that she was lying to him
But was I wrong to reply to her text telling me she felt bad and it had never happened before

Doesn’t matter if it’s never happened. She lied. There’s zero reason for you to respond, but there’s also nothing saying you can’t.

I already did and told her we’d never hire someone who’s dishonest

Just because a nanny is a mother, it doesn’t mean she is a good nanny...

Not only did she lie to your husband but she deliberately disobeyed him . Why would you hire someone who hurt your daughter.

And it goes the other way around as well : I'm not a mom and I'm a great nanny

She seems very sneaky to me, and that is not a good Nanny trait at all!

Your husband clearly told her not to spin your daughter due to his concern for her safety, yet she still did it.
Just not in view of him.

Then when your daughter ended up getting hurt, she purposely lied about it which shows she doesn’t have an ounce of integrity in her being.

Fire, do not hire.

Doesn't really matter about the text, just drop all contact with her except I suppose you have to pay her for hurting your child?

He paid her and told her to leave, it was before the trial was supposed to end but there’s no way we’d ever use her again.

I thought I was doing her a favor by telling her she lied to him and that’s not ok

Why would you hire her? She shouldn't have been swinging a child like that. I even train my camp staff not too do things like that nor piggy back rides either. Keep looking

They do have great bargains on care.
