[quote=Anonymous]+1 on not overthinking it. She'll be fine and the position is ending soon. I'd worry more about working with your kids as far as their behavior and how it affects other people, and try to use it as an opportunity for them to understand that acting like this causes other people to not want to spend time with them (assuming they like your nanny and want her to come be with them). They need to understand what it is they did that triggered her reaction, what they need to do to make it right, and how they should behave in the future. If she's going to be around for at least a few more weeks and your kids are old enough, I'd also set some very, very clear expectations in a meeting with you, nanny, and kids ("when x happens, Nanny will give you one warning. If it happens again, you will go home and you will sit in your room for 20 minutes" or whatever is age appropriate and in line with your discipline approach). Your nanny will go back to school, but this will continue to be an issue with other caregivers if you don't nip it in the bud. Good luck--it's no fun, I know![/quote]
