[quote=Anonymous]I understand the "misunderstandings", she thought you were looking for somebody else, this can happen and I see how it can stress the nanny. but based on what you say, something else may be going on. the nanny sounding paranoid and saying things that do not make sense is really scary. I did not want to bring up the NY tragedy again, but in that case there was a nanny who by all accounts loved the family and the children, and then went  through a mental brakedown or something. family and friends did say that they felt in the weeks before that something was off with her and that she had changed. the family knew she needed the money and probably felt bad in letting her go. my point is, you like your nanny and obviously do not want to put her through trouble, but if there is any indication that something is wrong with her, do not wait and do not put your children in danger. mental illness and child care do not go well together, a paranoid person may hurt a child because she believes that is the best thing for the child or that she has to do it. from your description, I sense some fatigue and even resentment toward your older child. a responsible and good nanny, if she is called bi#$ by a 3yr old, would tell the parents immediately. a 3yr old is not a monster and cannot be held to the same standard as an adult. she is a little child who needs to be educated.

bottom line, if you feel something is off, I would let the nannny go immediately.[/quote]
