[quote=Anonymous]I have been with my nanny family for three in a half years.  Often DB's mother will come down for the week, and care for the three children for a few hours so I can work do some things for MB business.  She is visiting now, and has been here for two days and I honestly think she is no longer fit to care for the children.  She is in poor healthy, and she cannot keep up with them.  It is not only bad for her, but for the children as well.  Things I have witnessed for these past few days:

-Wipe 9 month olds face with clorox wipe, instead of baby wipe
-Leave 2.5-year-old in bath unattended while she went to go get something from her car (I usually come and check in on things every 20 minutes, but luckily was able to supervise LO till she came back).
-Lay down on floor to get 2.5-year-old to sleep, and was unable to get up on own.  She had to call me to help her up.
-Improperly supervised 2.5-year-old for a long enough period so that LO got into her parents bedroom and into the medicine cabinet (this happened before I arrived, but was notified and she had not called poison control or attempted to find out if LO had ingested any medication...she didn't...thank God)
-Essentially not supervise the 5-year-old at all, allowed her to do as she pleases...pretty much the oldest is taking advantage of Grandma, to the point where Grandma has no control over her behavior.  I have to be called in from DB office on the monitor to get her to listen to Grandma.
-Put 9-month-old on changing table and walk to other side of the room
-Suffer from dizzy spells so bad, she cannot walk properly

These children are completely overwhelming her, and I truly don't feel like they are safe in her care.  I also don't feel like she is safe in her own care.  I've told my employers about all above issues individually, but don't know how to express my opinion about the grandmother.  I don't know if it is my place, however since I am first in charge when she is around I feel responsible for the situation.
