[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been a part-time Nanny for a 2 yr old little girl for the past 18 mos.

I have formed a strong bond w/her and things have overall gone well.

Until yesterday afternoon.
We were at the playground & she was climbing the bars up but accidentally lost her grasp and fell on the mat below.

She cried briefly but then got up and played again a few min. later.
She appeared to walk w/a slight limp afterward.

When I told her parents, they told me I should not have let her climb the bars w/o holding on to her.
(I had tried but she had took my hands off of her and said she wanted to do it herself.)
When she fell, I had been standing directly behind her but was not holding on to her.

Anyway the parents are super overprotective and had taken their daughter to her MD to hopefully get X-rays done because they thought she may have broken a bone, etc.
I waited for three hours, stressed out to only find out that he stopped limping + the Dr. wasn’t concerned.

I am now contemplating quitting this position as I thought I was treated unfairly.
Kids fall down, they get bumps and bruises > it’s part of being a kid.
Even when in the care of parents kids sometimes fall and get hurt.

Yet when in the care of a Nanny parents can be harsh and judgmental and assign blame to their Nanny.

Would it be unfair to quit?[/quote]

They showed you who they are. Find a new job with people who understand that kids fall and, more importantly, people who trust you.  Find job and give two weeks notice and never look back.
