[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, some people are just naturally forgetful. It does say something that she immediately had the cash to give you. That means she didn’t spend any of it.

Her son came out, gave her the money and she probably stashed it somewhere meaning to give it to you but then forgot. It can be an easy thing to do if you have a lot going on.

You say you love having her as your nanny, so I say you should give her the benefit of the doubt since she’s been so good to you for all this time. You have to accept that this was more than likely just an honest mistake, otherwise you’ll feel unable to trust her and it’ll put a strain on the relationship. You can’t employ someone you don’t trust. [/quote]

I’m OP. I very much want to believe this and am going to just decide that this is what happened and let it go.

But if I’m being 100% honest, yes I do think she pocketed the money. But I’m not going to act on it, unless something else similar happens.

She’s extremely detail oriented and organized-She’s not the forgetful type.

I see. I’m not sure why she would think she could steal that much money and nobody would notice, though. Oh well. If you’re going to let it go, then I guess that’s just water under the bridge.

I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that next time (if there even is a next time), I would advise you to just maybe keep a record. Also, if this isn’t the only thing that has given you pause about her, you may want to consider your options for the future, no matter how good she is with your kids. Like I said, you can’t employ someone untrustworthy, let alone have them in your home. Just something to think about :) I wish you lots of luck![/quote]

Op here. Thank you. In the past we once bought her a plane ticket, and she was going to pay us back, and I told her not to worry about it-to think of the ticket as a gift/bonus/thank you from our family. I wonder if she thought we’d do that again (though this ticket wasn’t for her, it was for her son so it doesn’t exactly make sense). And I agree, I screwed up here by not keeping a record. I am not the most organized person. I even conceded that to her son and to her-just now when she gave me the money I said “are you SURE you didn’t pay me already? Because it’s possible I forgot.” And the nanny said no, that she was the one who forgot.

So yes this is also my fault for not doing a better job of keeping records.[/quote]
