[quote=Anonymous]It sounds as if you were spending a considerable amount of time watching her via cameras. Or else how could you have known that she napped for an hour?? Cameras are set up so that parents have access to their childcare provider & make sure no abuse or neglect comes into play. Period. But I do find that some parents use them for benign stuff. Like what did the Nanny do during nap time. Or how much time she spent on her phone. Etc. First of all, I hope you did the right thing by offering her full disclosure regarding the cameras. Secondly, could you have addressed her issues as a warning prior to firing her? Finally, I would offer some severance since she had no clue that she would be unemployed for the New Year. I would strongly advise you against hiring a young Nanny in the future. Typically young Nannies consider their phones their fifth limbs. They feel as though they must always be “connected.” It’s part of how they were brought up. I wish you all the best in your new search. Hopefully you will find someone w/enough common sense to not only pick up the toys before they leave, but also will be considerate enough to leave messes in your kitchen. You hire a Nanny to make life easier.....not to have extra cleaning waiting for you when you get home.[/quote]
