As someone else pointed out, you are not bullying the nanny. Some of these kids are coming from a generation that believes if you even look at someone funny or not telling them that their hair looks nice is bullying them. 
Honestly, I would make her pay for at least part of the stroller. She sounds like someone who needs to learn responsibility.

THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF FIRING THE NANNY. Doesn't that trump teaching her a lesson on responsibility?! She is going to lose her job in a few weeks and doesn't yet know it (but we all know it) and you want her to pay for a 300 dollar stroller?! Come on, Lady - that is not looking at someone funny! That is truly kicking someone when they are down - and yes, that is bullying behavior.

If the MB was not planning to fire her as soon as the MB found a replacement for her, you might have a point about the nanny paying for part of the stroller but certainly not when she is being fired (and does not yet know it!).

Um, no. It isn't kicking someone when she is down and it is definitely not bullying. It is firing her for cause. She has done several things worthy of being dismissed for cause. Her latest idiocy is in losing or stealing a $300 stroller.

I completely agree that this nanny deserves to be fired - and posted the same - over her constant lateness.  But to make her pay for a 300 dollar stroller when she is about to be out of a job is most definitely kicking her when she is down.  What percentage of her weekly take-home pay would $300 be?  Some of you MB's are simply cruel.  OP hired a bad nanny and should take responsibility for her mistake as well.  Chronic lateness does not develop overnight - did the OP check all the nannies references?  - college records?  Probably not.

She has earned her firing. She also owes her employers for the the stroller she lost or stole. Full stop.

Also, she knows it. She knows what she's done and her hope is that her MB doesn't.[/quote][/quote]

I disagree completely, PP.  Full stop.  You are wrong. Full stop.  You and OP are petty and mean. Full stop.

Next time do a better job of screening applicants to take care of your children.  [/quote]

Wow.  You must be a habitually late, crappy nanny with no job prospects. I'm flabbergasted at these responses. The nanny sounds like an idiot employee. [/quote]

You are tiresome, Mommy.  Since I don't agree with you, you assume I am late and crappy?!  LOL  [/quote]
