[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I'm hesitant for a few reasons. I can tell they really like her as their nanny, so I feel like if I say "hey, I saw them at the playground and felt she wasn't really giving your daughter enough attention" they probably would want to talk things out with her. It would be easy for the nanny to insist that I'm wrong, and I'm worried that my relationship with the family might suffer if they side with her. I only work with them occasionally, but since I've been working with them for so long (and the mom has recommended me to many of her friends) I'd really hate to lose the good rapport that we have.

Also, since I frequent the playground, I think sooner or later the little girl is going to recognize me and call me by name, and the nanny could probably put two and two together and figure out that I was the whistleblower. I doubt she'd do anything nasty, but who knows.

Lastly, the more I think about it, the more I feel like her actions are like just barely over the line. Yes, she should give the girl more attention. Yes, she should treat her a bit more fairly. But she wasn't being mean to her per se, and she did give her some attention, just not nearly as much as she gave her son. Today when the girl had a dirty diaper it did take 15-20 minutes for her to notice (even though I could tell right away), but once she noticed she seemed to take action on it immediately (but again, if she had been interacting with the girl more, she should've noticed sooner).

Do you guys really think I should tell the mother, without hesitation?[/quote]
