[quote=Anonymous]I came home early the other day and I usually tell my nanny that I am coming home early. She still gets paid even if I leave early for the full amount, so it is not a big deal. I meant to text her that I was near but my phone died and didn't have car charge with me, so she never heard me come in. I opened the door and went to the sun room, where I figured she might be and stopped at the kitchen and since kitchen is adjacent to sunroom, I overheard her conversation. In the conversation to her friend, she stated her previous employers were cheap skates and that they don't deserve to have a nanny, because they do not know how to treat one. She went on to say the dad was obnoxious and their house looked like it came from the aftermath of a tornado from Wizard of Oz. She also mentioned how the mom and dad are cheap yet concerned about their appearance which is a joke. I get that this family might not have been a dream come true to have as employers BUT I find it unprofessional that she would speak about them like this! I knew she left as when we interviewed her, she said it was because it was not a good fit and she seemed so polite and professional. I am shocked she is more candid when left by herself? I found it a bit disturbing and wondered if she wasn't or isn't talking smack about me, that I don't know?

How should I handle this? I had to go to my car to retrieve a paper, as I opened the door again to step inside, it appeared like I had just stepped in for the first time that  afternoon. So, she is not aware I overheard her.  She would not have known I had been in the kitchen few minutes prior.

My nanny just always seemed polite, this kind of talk I heard was 180 to what she shows off. 
I'm kind of unsure if she is genuine in what she does/says..and I don't want to think bad of her. Any advice is useful. Thank you.[/quote]
