[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We had a very long discussion with the nanny today. We confronted her and told her there was a witness. [b]She admitted it was her fault because she was texting someone.. [/b]

The only reason I might consider not firing her is that she said "it will never happen again". I am pretty sure she will be more careful from now on.

Moreover, we live in Pennsylvania and it's more difficult to find a good nanny here.[/quote]

Why didn't you mention there was a witness in your OP?  Why didn't the witness notice that the nanny was texting when the accident happened?  Please.  Your story is not believable at all.  [/quote]

PP here. What's your problem? Are you the OP's nanny? Or a different nanny that had similar experience and right now feels gulity?[/quote]

I am not a nanny but an MB who has been on these boards a long time. A witness would have surely mentioned that the nanny was busy texting when the accident happened. A nanny that was texting instead of watching her charge while her charge was flying high on a swing is not a "good nanny" so you are doing your child no favor by keeping this one.  [/quote]
