[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster.  You would not be firing the nanny; she abandoned her job.  Even if you could be deemed to have fired her, you did so because she went absent without notice or permission, not because of the so-called domestic disturbance.  At minimum, a responsible nanny would have found some way to reach you to say that she couldn't come in due a personal crisis--even if she was not in a position to elaborate over the phone.

At any rate, the fact that she has had you advance money multiple times suggests that her life is not stable.  She is in over her head in some way that is either caused by or could lead to bad decision making.  My guess is that someone (maybe the ex?) was shaking her down for money and got in trouble for being unable to pay when her paycheck was late.  So she lied to you, possibly under pressure from the ex or someone else.  This is a desperate person, and you don't want desperate in your home or with your kids.[/quote]

You realize that she very well could have/could claim her absence "without notice" was due to the domestic issue right

Also unclear how you've come to decide the situation she was dealing with didn't prevent her from explaining herself[/quote]

The nanny lives in an apartment complex. She couldn't knock on one of her neighbor's door and ask to dial 911? What would have happened if the friend wasn't sent to check on her? Would she sit in her apartment until the ex decided to return her car? [/quote]
