[quote=Anonymous]Background: Nanny has been with us for over 3 years. She watches our DD and now baby who is 6 months old. Things have been a little rocky since baby was born. DD has been going through a very tough patch. I was home a lot on maternity leave and ramping back up at work so was around a lot which was somewhat tense. DH just started a new role and things are much busier at home. But generally nanny has been doing well managing both kids between camp and school, which starts in 2 weeks for DD (she will be there all but 10 hrs/week.

Today DD told me that nanny yelled at her loudly to sit down and she cried. When I asked her why she cried she said it was because nanny pinched her on her leg. I think the first part is possible (doesn't make me happy she yelled but she is human and I'm fine addressing with her what happened) but it seems very unlikely that she pinched her. She has been with us for 3 years and I've worked from home for portions of that so I have a pretty good sense of how she acts. However, I obviously want to protect DD and take what she says seriously in case she is telling the truth.
How do I raise this with the nanny without it permanently damaging things? And for what its worth, DD is generally extremely truthful. This pinching story didn't sound realistic but she doesn't really lie (comes straight to us if she breaks a rule) so I want to check it out.
