[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you feel about nannies [b]accidentally[/b] breaking or damaging something while on duty? Such as a broken wine glass when unloading the dishwasher or ruining a piece of clothing in the laundry. Should nanny offer to replace or reimburse for these items? Is this just a part of having someone working in your home?[/quote]

As long as the nanny is working on the books and legally in your home, any items in your home should be covered by insurance...Am I right?

Even if I a wrong, I think it would be wrong to charge her for an accident. If it was done on purpose, say if she were arguing with you or your child and to be malicious she purposely threw a cell phone or iPad and it hit a wall, then yes...I believe she would be liable and should replace it in full.

But for an accident, I wouldn't expect her to pony up any money for anything because after all when you have someone work inside your home, it is only reasonable that sooner or later something may get broken within a certain amount of time. As long as it isn't a big ticket item like a big screen T.V., I would just take it as part of the job. A broken wine glass is certainly nothing to charge her for.  :shock: [/quote]
