[quote=Anonymous]Hold on. A nanny's employer isn't allowed to have any doubt or skepticism? Their provider passed a background check so now they walk on water and are so above reproach, that to even imply some fault of theirs is a grievous offense? What???

Would you prefer a discussion- "I noticed that baby was crying in a way I'm not used to. Is everything ok?" OP would still feel judged and offended and feel like she shouldn't even have to justify anything, instead of explaining calmly?

She implied doubt with your work, discussed it away and came to make amends. Was she supposed to write you a written note of apology and how terrible she was, saying how terrible she was and how grateful she is for such a great nanny that she doesn't deserve?

What if you ever do make a mistake, should the employer ignore it too?

Also eight months is not that long. Six months was the length of my probation period for my corporate job with, arguably, lower stakes than nannying "precious children". Passing a credit and background check is something a lot of people in a lot of jobs have to do, including likely OP's employees, especially when they have access to money, children, or confidential information of any kind, and not some kind of deep humiliation.
