[quote=Anonymous]Hi all, I am a mother of a beautiful 8 month old baby girl. We had a Nanny come on board to help us out 2 days per week when my daughter was 4 months old while my husband and I are at work. She has been wonderful and I have been nothing but pleasantly surprised by her.

One thing I was just wondering though if what I experienced this morning is normal. Our Nanny called in with car trouble this morning which was no big deal and I told her to take the day to sort it out and I called into work and took the day off. Our Nanny takes our daughter to a baby music class each week and on the phone she was almost insisting we skip it this week for various reasons but I couldn't see any reason not to go, so I went.

Anyway, very long story short it appears that our Nanny has been telling serious lies to this group of mothers. At first it was very awkward as I had to explain myself a few times because our Nanny had been answering to my name and introducing herself as me the entire term. I had paid online for the class so had given my name which apparently all these mothers were calling her for weeks.

Apparently she has been using my husbands name as her husband, saying she has 3 other children at school and that she lives in our suburb etc etc she told these mother all these stories about her family and even got into details about her 4 births!

I can fully understand if someone makes a comment in passing then maybe you wont explain that you are the childs Nanny but to go to these lengths?

My husband is really angry about it and says I must call her and discuss.

Do Nannies do this? Is it normal?
