Nanny has been doing things that I fee are overstepping boundaries

- She has been slipping her items into our dry cleaning bags. The house manager told me that the nanny has been putting in about 10 items each week. I didn’t know about this.

- She regularly has friends over, which is fine, I told her she can since she is a live in. Unfortunately, she doesn’t host them in her private apartment (apt is our converted carriage house and has a living room, dining area, etc. In total, it is about 2000 sqft of living space). She hosts them in our living and dining rooms. Also, she will allow them to eat and drink things from our kitchen. Last night they drank $700 worth of wine and ate a lot of frozen items that I intended to serve at a gathering this week.

There are other things but these are most egregious to me. What would you say to her?? I am very conflict averse. How do I approach this?

FWIW, she is great with the kids and we love her so I don’t want to upset her or fire her.

I’m on mobile so forgive my grammar! [/quote]

I would give her a chance to fess up and repay.  I would not dismiss the possibility of jealousy on part of house manager.  She could be lying.  I believe that everyone has the right to face their accuser because people lie for a lot of reasons.[/quote]
