[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree w/ others OP - you don't know both sides of the story.  Support your former nanny however you see fit, but don't judge the other family too harshly without knowing what happened.

And, FWIW, if I fired someone without notice and without severance it would be because of a severe breach (as detailed in our contract) along the lines of a major safety issue, a violation of our trust, physically disciplining a child in a way we expressly do not allow, etc...

If I fired a valued, trusted nanny he/she would absolutely get lots of notice and severance.

Things can go wrong, even with people you personally trust greatly, perhaps even without intent.[/quote]

Agree with this.  We fired a nanny without notice and with no severance when she claimed she was just cleaning up after lunch and doing the dishes and only took her eyes off 17 month old DS for a couple of minutes,  but during those couple of minutes that he wasn't in her line of sight, DS got himself into a fairly dangerous situation.  The only reason we knew what happened was because DS had an egg sized welt on his forehead and a skinned knee/shin and she finally admitted what happened.

I'm betting our former nanny didn't go around telling the whole story of why she was fired.  [/quote]
