[quote=Anonymous]I hired a part-time nanny a few months ago. She seemed very sweet and loving. She's going through a divorce, living on her own for the first time.

Her behavior has become increasingly erratic. I'm hearing from neighbors that my toddler son is shouting at her. He's telling me "Nanny" should stay at her house. Any attempt I've made to discuss concerns with her meet "no worries". I've discovered, from neighbors, that her teenage son is sitting in her car outside, going to the park with them. One afternoon, I asked for her to bring my son to the neighbor's around 4pm. His friends were going to be there to play. My neighbor said they never arrived. She approached the door to check for him, she heard my son shouting.  Neighbors also tell me she is on her cell most of the time.

I'm concerned about how to let go of this nanny. She seems upset many days. I believe she is a caring person, but her personal life is in crisis. I've told her I need to be able to talk with her about my son, that it is a BIG concern for me. But I concerned that she will be unable to handle being fired. (I can no longer tolerate these observations from neighbors though.) [/quote]
