[quote=Anonymous]She cared for our kids who are age 7 and 9 before and after school. We emigrated here from South Africa and the kids had to of course change schools and friendship groups. All was fine up until the past few months. She kept reporting back bad behaviors. Not listening to her, not talking or answering her when she spoke to them. Moody when coming out of school. Some backchatting etc.
My DH was the one who had the most contact with nanny. He spoke to the kids but things remained difficult.  I personally felt the nanny was being a bit harsh especially as the kids have been through such a challenging time. I asked to meet with her and told her that the kids had said that they had not been misbehaving and that I wanted to believe them and be the type of mom that believes her kids. I reminded her that the kids had moved schools a second time  and she said thats when the problems all started but I do not agree. I asked her to further explain the behaviors and she mentioned all the above and also said my eldest shuts doors on her. I told her that the kids side needed to be heard as well as hers which is something she needs to take into consideration.  Back at home I punished the kids and then texted nanny to apologise because what she had told me was something I needed to address with the kids. She said she was quitting as she felt unappreciated and untrusted.
DH is upset at how it has all ended and kids are upset also. She's been with us nearly a year. I think we will cope without a new nanny but has anyone else been in this situation? I just wanted to make sure my kids had a voice but it all backfired.[/quote]
