[quote=Anonymous]I'm a nanny who has been reading this thread and generally agreeing with other PP's that it's likely the nanny raised her voice but didn't intentionally "pinch" or hurt your child.

I would ask your DC to tell the story again and see if details have changed. Children around this age have wild imaginations and are very good at embellishing the truth.

I would also bring this up to your nanny. I would let her know what your DC told you and see what she says.

I also want to note that sometimes there are caregivers that appear fabulous and great but really aren't.

Extremely personal example:

As a young 3-4 year old child, I told my mother that a babysitter was extremely inappropriate with me and my mother never confronted the sitter or stopped using her. As an adult, I resent my mother for not protecting me as a child when I told her what happened to me and she did nothing about it. I believe that I chose to be a nanny at a very young age because I wanted to protect children and felt like if I could protect even 1 child, I was making a difference.

I don't usually share my experience with people but I just felt that it's necessary to point out that while children can have wild imaginations, they also could be telling the truth.
