[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok so what did she do that warrants locks to be changed, and all the non-sense about escorting her out, changing alarm codes, and not sure if you would let her see your kids? Sounds like you are dealing with a crminal ... WTF?![/quote]

I guess you dont listen to the news...Yselina Ortega..murder 2 of her charges (SLIT their throats) because she did not like the offer of the family to clean their home for extra money she needed.  She had been their nanny for 2 years.  THey had even been to her country and visited her family.  In the business world, when you are fired, there is no 'two weeks'  They tell you on Friday at 5pm, with no severance pay.  There is a rason for this type of notice.  
The only other thing to do is lie and tell her that your mom in law or someone is coming to live with you and take care of your children and help her find another job (this is also not being honest with the new family...but who cares about them...right?)

A week after the Ortega incident in NYC, a babysitter in the midwest killed 2 of her charges....  2 bad apples do not define the lot, but it is frightening.[/quote]

nanny Ortega, by all accounts, was having a mental breakdown, friends and neighbors had noticed that she seemed to be having problems. I really do not believe she was a normal person who got angry at her employers. an angry enployee may steal soemthing or brake something, but does not murder two little children. the woman in the midwest was a mother who killed her own child to spite her husband, the other child was in the wrong place at the wrong time. based on her actions, would you conclude that mothers should not be left alone with their kids because you never know they may kill them?

anyway, I do agree that if you let your nanny go, I would not let her keep working with the kids. I would give her severance instead of notice, depending on the circumstances. where I work, when  person is laid off he/she is given the news and then escorted out of the office by security. [/quote]
