[quote=Anonymous]We live on a very busy street next to the metro. It is well trafficked on foot and petty and violent crimes are prevalent. We are near a shopping and entertainment district and there are also some very exclusive historic homes with many high ticket items visible to criminals. I arrived home about 40 minutes early today. I brought home my laptop and my kris were in the bottom of the bag, so I rang the bell. No answer. I touched the door and it was open. The screen door, deadbolt and other locks. My front door has an entrance and it was open. Nanny's purse, lunch bag, shoes, little one's shoes, keys to the house, car and fence were strewn about. Car seat was in front hall. Stroller and carrier were also in the hallway. I noticed our car was not parked in the alley. I called for nanny and son. No response. I walked in our backyard, to the bus stop they sometimes wait, the dog park, the playground. Nowhere.

Our nanny texts or calls about everything. I started to worry. I texted her and no response. Called and no response. Decided to walk home and see if they were there. No one was home. Called again and phone went straight to voice mail. No response for 20 minutes. Searched house for notes. Nothing.i started to panic, worry, think the worst.

I wondered if I should call the police. In walks nanny with son. They have been in neighbor's yard playing with chickens(trespassing). I asked why the house was left unlocked and no response. She said she was "just around the block"and no need to lock door. We have lots of robberies. It's a busy street-think Logan Circle or Penn.

Nanny hugged me. I noticed my son was flushed and he said he was hot. My son is a young toddler. He downed a water bottle. Nanny said they had been out for an hour.

My husband is traveling for work but I am livid. Not only because she left my family and home vulnerable to crime but also because she was so inresponsive to me. [/quote]
