[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would pay her. I would also call her professional references (assuming that they were not fakes, like her counsins paying former MBs) and tell them how horribly unprofessional this person was.

If I am providing a reference for somebody, for sure I would like to know if that person behaved like that, since I would not want to spend my name for such a person[/quote]

This would be skirting some serious ethical and maybe legal lines. If you don't want to employ someone that is one issue, to sabotage their chances of future employment is just wrong. If a nanny has good references, they must have done something to earn them and an isolated incident is not a valid reason to jeopardize the rest of their career. Grow up.[/quote]

skirting ethical lines? are you kidding me? if two people told me that the nanny is a very responsible and reliable person, why would it be unethical to let them know how she behaved? based on OP account (and assuming it was true), the nanny took the job and bailed out after four days, one hour and a half into a work day, lied, took the kids to her house without permission to run her own errands during work hours, and while she was paid, did not perform her duties. people can have problems and emergencies, but the way this nanny behaved shows that she is dishonest and unreliable.  if I was a person who gave a reference for her, I would feel embarrassed.

skirting legal lines? sure, the nanny can sue you of you lie. but if you state the truth, I do not really see why it would be illegal.
