[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never been fired, but with my first nanny job I was threatened several times for calling in sick (from a stomach flu, I got from them) and not texting my MB essentially while driving (she wanted to know when we left, and when we were 30 minutes away.  No stoplights, so I texted when we were closer and I could stop).  She was miserable and has gone through 17 nannies since I left in 2012.

I've known nannies who were fired for:

-Repeated improper carseat use
-Falling asleep daily, and neglecting the children.
-Taking too many sick days
- Not finishing daily chores
- Posting negative information about families on social media
- Posting pictures of their NK's without permission on social media
- Giving the children sleep aids before nap
- Refusing to follow the parents wishes 
- Spanking
- Asking for a raise
- Asking for overtime, other benefits
- Asking to be paid on the books
-Being late to work due to a car accident 
-Telling the child no
-Calling the employer by their first name
- Refusal to wear set uniform
- Refusal to  reorganizing the pantry
- Refusal to deep clean refrigerator

There are many legitimate and ridiculous reasons nannies are fired.

Oh wow. 
Calling the employer by their first name and the uniform? Good lord people.

Question -- how would parents know if nanny was improperly using car seat?[/quote]

Anyone can know if:
kid has a rash from the belt rubbing due to improper installation
car seat falls out when the door is opened or child is taken out
child can't be put in without banging child's head

As a nanny, I've seen all three happen, and I'm usually at the library when I notice or one of my charges notice.

As to how an employer notices?  Maybe one of their older children tells them, maybe they see something on the garage monitor, maybe another nanny takes a picture/video and shows them.  Or maybe they see the nanny having issues.[/quote]
