[quote=Anonymous]MB here (not OP): To be fair, sometimes employers are going to get a bit emotional. This is not a typical business situation, and even in offices people do get angry and upset sometimes. However, I don't think the OP's behaviour was appropriate.

OP, I don't think the situation warranted your reaction let alone firing her. You are lucky to have a nanny who has enough backbone to stick up for herself - she did say that she was sorry about stressing you out, but she was right to say that she didn't like the way you talked to her. An employee has the right to do that, just because you are her employer doesn't mean she should have to suck up your offensive treatment in silence. If you want to keep her you need to apologise. "I'm sorry that I lost my temper, it really was not appropriate and I understand if you found it offensive. You're doing a great job and we really value you. If I have an issue with anything in the future I'll make sure to discuss it with you in an appropriate way at an appropriate time."

I don't think you should expect her to attend events unless you ask her to do so and you pay her for the time. It's nice that previous nannies did this but it is pretty rare I think.[/quote]
