[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Katiee]Believe me - we were very clear about our expectations. We discussed things like honesty in a very detailed way. Your expectations and reality sometimes just don't go together.

Maybe we are not lucky with nannies. However, when I speak to other moms in DC - they have similiar problems. Nannies watching TV instead of working, nannies ignoring crying kids, nannies feeding toddlers with chocolate, etc.

It's an old article but if you have a minute check it out:

The article you posted discusses a mom's failures to hire a good nanny. This quote seems to apply most to your situation:

"Like any relationship, the mom/nanny one can suffer most by inconsistent communication, lack of respect or unfair expectations."

Your nanny, if she is lying in ways large and small to you and your neighbors and their nannies, is providing inconsistent communication, lack of respect AND unfair expectations.

Since you don't detail how you believe she was negligent when your son was injured, I can't comment on that. But if she's lying, it doesn't matter how "good" she is, she needs to be let go for cause.

And if your next nanny lies to you, and you have irrefutable proof, ask her why she isn't telling the truth. Offer that open communication and clear the air if possible so you don't have to search for a new nanny again.[/quote]
