[quote=Anonymous]While the family does seem a bit whacky to call just because you are leaving (not a good reason), I will say that I have been in a situation where a nanny who came with great references (from a family she still works with occasionally) was not just not great, but performing in a way that actually put my children in harm's way (lack of safety instinct). My child has gone to go to the hospital under her watch, and she hasn't told me when other minor accidents happen so that I could make the call on whether to address them further. There were several situations that I just feel were not safe overall. I haven't yet called the other family, but it's been on my mind to do since I know she still works with them occasionally. I don't want to bad mouth the nanny (she's no longer with us), but at the end of the day I am less concerned by an enraged nanny, than by ensuring that the children she is watching--even if just occasionally-- are safe (even if they are not my own). It may not change their opinion of the nanny, but maybe they will ask some questions that could prevent a future accident. [/quote]
