[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was unprofessional to do it at work and a good example of why we should be very careful about our possible audiences.

That said, I think every nanny does this with a friend from time to time as do employees in any other field. You can fire her, but the next one will do it too. As will daycare workers/teachers/etc.

Just be sure you have a confidentiality clause and do regular check ins with your nanny to keep lines of communication open and prevent grievances on either side from souring an otherwise good relationship.[/quote] OP here. I am not going to her fire at least not yet. It was a very disturbing conversation and I don't know that I feel completely comfortable with her now and that to me is because I have lost trust in her good nature also the fact that while I did come home early and she do not know it does not excuse the mess there was when I got there. My daughter was napping and while he nanny could have cleaned up first and then chatted she opted to do the opposite so when she left it was up to me to pick up all that mess. She said she would have straitened it up if she knew I was home as she wanted a break to relax first and I know that's fine. It's just that the reason she delayed in cleaning up was because she was too busy gossiping and she almost seemed to enjoy it. My daughter had napped almost 2 hours why she still hasn't picked up toys by then just irked on top of her conversation.  [/quote]

It just seems like now you are looking for issues to have with her.  I have days where I choose to relax at nap time rather than clean. If I know no one is going to be home, I don't see any harm.  As long as my tasks are done by the end of the day, my employers don't have issues, they know they don't need to manage every minute of my time. You probably should end your relationship with her, neither of you are going to be happy for very long.  [/quote]
