[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a nanny of 2 toddlers in a share. One of the homes have a screen door that the toddlers can open (and get out) if the door is not locked. If I have to run upstairs or use the bathroom I either lock the screen door (we're on a main street so they like to look at the cars and we get a lot of sirens) or close the front door and open it once I come back.

Things do happen. I would talk to her because she was probably scared she would get fired. Or she didn't think it was a big deal and if that's the case, I wouldn't keep her around. But its best to talk to her and inform her of how important it is to lock doors, and keep a watchful eye on him or her. 5 minutes is way too long to not notice a child is missing. If my charges are quiet for more than 5 seconds I yell out "what are ya'll doing" :) they normally run in wherever I am (usually kitchen prepping meals) or they will start making some sort of noise. If I hear nothing within 2 seconds, I stop what I am doing to check- most likely, when toddlers are quiet it means trouble. I am glad your baby wasn't hurt![/quote]

+1 I would above all else ask her why she didn’t tell you and how you finding out via camera is much worse [/quote]
