[quote=Anonymous]I am a Nanny for a 2.5 + 1 yr. old.

Today as the Mother was leaving for work, I walked down the staircase directly in front of her.
I was carrying the one-yr. old in my left arm & was holding the two-yr. old’s hand on my right as she walked down the staircase.

*Note-
The staircase is fully carpeted, yet the landing is marble floored.
Well I accidentally slipped on the last carpeted step and my charges and I fell frontwards on the marble landing.  :cry:  :cry:

Their heads hit the floor very hard and they immediately cried out.
Their Mother comforted them and I directly apologized to her for falling w/her daughters.
She genuinely said that she witnessed the entire episode and I did nothing careless.
She told me it was an honest accident.
And I do not think she blames me as much as I blame myself.

I have been sobbing off + on today.
The guilt I feel is enormous.
I fully expect to be fired after this, but the Mother told me they would never do that....
That their family loves me to death.

Please tell me,
If you were the Mother, could you forgive this one-time occurrence?
Or is this a firing offense??

Worked eight months w/them and this is the only time this has occurred.
The family has in-home cameras, but they claim they only work in real time.
Nothing is recorded.[/quote]
