[quote=Anonymous]I want to start this post by saying that my nanny works around 20hrs per week and I pay her $20 per hour. I am a single mom to a 14 month old, and I own a business that allows me to be in and out of the house during the day.  I really like her but a few things have happened that I am a little worried about.

1. she left my baby on the changing table while I was home and i quickly mentioned it and she said "oh my gosh (child's name) I forgot you were up there!" She was about 10 feet away.
2. She does not clean up after herself. I am not the most organized person but sprayed soda of the walls, floor and kitchen table is weird to find.
3. She pocketed my keys by accident when she was playing with my daughter and took them home with her.
4. She has a set of keys she uses to play with the babies she takes care of and after the first set of keys went missing I was looking for my neighbor's spare key just to make sure it was where it was supposed to be but I couldn't find it. When the nanny came to drop off the keys, I had my neighbor check her "play keys" and she found her house key on there. 
5. She doesn't have a cell phone so I bought her a prepaid one for her to use incase of emergencies. She seemed opposed to use one for a really long time.
6. She brought a cat to my house without asking.
7. She accidentally forgot to close the gate to my yard and one of my neighbors found my dog down the street (my dogs are all indoor dogs)

In my opinion, she isn't malicious in any way, she is just forgetful and spacey. I have grown emotionally attached to her because she has really supported me through a rough separation, and more importantly, my daughter gets so excited every single time she sees her! She is VERY active, no TV to worry about but I find myself making excuses for her mistakes every time I tell someone one of the above stories. Are these normal nanny things that happen?
