[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Thank you all for the advice, especially 11:46. I'm going to go ahead and write a customized version of that excellent letter.  There were more issues than I've let on here and we tried unsuccessfully to communicate with her and resolve them before we let her go, but she proved to be unresponsive to feedback, so I doubt it would buy me anything to be overly communicative at this point.  [b]I think by writing such a generic letter it will raise the right questions with any prospective family, I know it would with me.[/b] Probably right, I shouldn't have accepted that friend request, maybe someday I'll just quietly unfriend her and move on.

11:46 here.   Glad to help!

I agree w/ you about the bolded section - a letter like that would be an insufficient reference for me.  And any parent doing their job should want to speak with a former employer/reference anyway - which you could choose to agree to or not for your former nanny.  But this way you've taken the high road, without being unneccessarily confrontational or misleading some possible other employer.[/quote]
