[quote=Anonymous]We have a long time nanny who will be leaving us in a few months to have her first child. She works for us five hours each day in the afternoons and works for another family in the mornings.

We learned recently that our nanny has been double billing us and the other family for two hours per week on a day when my child has an after school activity. She is supposed to be at our home, doing work around the house (like laundry, cleaning play areas) but instead has taken on the extra two hours with the other family.

We are upset about this, mostly because of the outright deception rather than the money. And it has been going on since January, so it’s no accident or misunderstanding. We haven’t told our nanny about our discovery, and don’t especially want to rock the boat so close to the end of our working relationship.

Here’s my question for DCUM. At this point, our nanny only has another two months or so with us. We were planning to give her a large cash bonus when she leaves (she is aware we are giving her something but does not know the exact amount). We are now planning to reduce this bonus by $800, which is roughly the amount we are losing to the double-billing.

Do you think this is the best way to handle the situation?
