[quote=Anonymous]I learned today that our nanny of 4 years has been gossiping quite negatively about our family and some personal matters.  Back story, she worked for us full time for the first 2 years, part time the 3rd year, and now occasionally babysits for us as she needed to work full time and has found another family.  She expressed that she wanted to get out of nannying and wanted to start a career in an office environment, so my husband offered her an internship at his office.  Over the 4 years that she has been with our family, we have done a lot to take care of her, as her family pretty much abandoned her and she's been on her own since the age of 14.  We bought her a car, paid some of her tuition, and recently, when her father passed away in El Salvador, gave her cash to pay for a ticket as well as take some money back home to help with funeral expenses.

We recently hired her to work for 2 weeks, while we were on vacation, paid her very well for the trip, as well as all expenses paid.  We discovered that she had taken some cash from us while on vacation, but didn't confront her, and I noticed she was wearing a pair of my sunglasses that had gone missing several months earlier.  In the last few months, I have noticed that she has become extremely materialistic, to the point that she is willing to wear knock off products, fake Louis Vuittons, fake Cartier jewelry, fake Chanel handbags.  I don't even know who this person is anymore.  Young and impressionable I guess.

Well, turns out, during her internships at my husband's office, she has been gossiping profusely about our family with my husbands co-workers.  His co-workers actually came to him with the information and the details they gave him could have only come from her.

I'm not at a loss as to what to do.  I'm severing ties.  I'm not getting in touch with her to discuss it, I'm not seeking revenge, I am angry, hurt, and dumbfounded.

Guess I needed a place to vent, but could really use some advice on how to cope with this.  She's been with our family for 4 years, my kids love her, and so do I, I really care about her, but this kind of betrayal just can't be forgiven.  We've done so much for her and I understand, she could be jealous, selfish...I just can't come to terms with all of this.

Anyone else go through something like this?  How to deal, other than just getting over it?  [/quote]
