[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP.  Your story rang true to me, but there have been a lot of tall tails here lately, so people are skeptical.  Don't take it personally.

One question that sprang to mind -- is your nanny relatively young?  It sounds like a young insecure behavior.  My guess is that she is nervous in the office environment and is just trying to find something to make her feel like she has a bit of control or power.  While it depends on what she told people, ie whether it was mean spirited or just personal, that would be my guess.

I agree that not mentioning it to her seems wise.  But I think, given that she and your husband share an environment, it might be good for them to have a talk.  Your husband might just mention what you said, that some people have come to him with some details that she shared with them about her life.  I think (if it is true) that your husband might say that people like her and her work (to butter her up).  He might admit that he and your nanny know a lot about each other ,and that he would appreciate if both of them could be professional in the work environment.

My guess is that your (ex) nanny would be apologetic, and your husband can be nice and say he's not permanently mad.

Then oyu move on.  Be cordial to her, but find a different babysitter for when you go out, at least for a while.
