[quote=Anonymous]New poster here, and I'm for generic letter as suggested, IF you think that the issues that the nanny had were only for family like yours (eg, older kids when the nanny need to try harder to bond with them), and that for another family she might be OK fit. If you think that there is no family for whom she can be a safe nanny, then you need to explain it and decline recommendation.

I departed with two nannies because I had issues. With first one I was sure that she was great with infants (but I had issues with her with toddlers). The Letter specifically stated that, and when references called I explained my opinion. She ended up becoming infant specialist, and last time I checked is moving from one senate staffer to another and probably doubled her rate.

For the second nanny I let go and had issues with, I gave generic letter as above. When the new potential MB called she stated that she knew we had issues, did not want to hear my side of the story and had only two very specific questions like driving and whether she pushes religion on kids (both of which were fine). If an MB is not willing to dig, well that's her problem.[/quote]
