Honestly, I would make her pay for at least part of the stroller. She sounds like someone who needs to learn responsibility.

She either lost it or stole it. If I lost or stole a piece of equipment from my work, I would absolutely be responsible for paying for it. I could also be fired for losing it, or lying about losing it. Seriously. How believable is it that she can't remember losing it? Not believable at all.

You are firing her for cause, and this example falls under good cause for firing her. I think you should dock her last check for the cost of the stroller. She may not be a bad person, but she certainly sounds like a terrible nanny.


She sounds like a terrible nanny because she made a mistake (and this is the only context we have for her job performance)??? The self-righteousness on this board is disgusting. It's a good thing you nannies don't have real bosses or coworkers, I doubt you could last very long having to interact with actual adults based on the attitudes expressed here.

Try reading the whole thread before posting next time. It can save you from looking foolish. The OP posted that there were several reasons she was firing her nanny, including exceeding her PTO and frequent lateness.
