I would watch her very carefully and not take too much from this nanny. After being with you for 4 months, she said "I'm gotten too comfortable and am slacking off?" That's a red flag, too, that she doesn't have a great work ethic. Your talk might have made permanent and sustainable changes, and I sincerely hope that's true. But if not, and in a month she's back to being late and not doing her job (and blaming it on being pregnant), then terminate. Don't wait.

And just how do you plan to get all this information about their personal life when you have no business asking them such personal questions? Hey MBs, newsflash, when you hire nannies, you hire human beings who do have personal lives outside your precious snowflake kiddos. Even if you hired a single woman, how on earth could you possibly guarantee that she will never get into a relationship or ever become pregnant? What are you going to do, make her sign a contract that includes a clause that she will remain single and celibate?
Because some of us are open, warm, and welcoming people who talk to their nannies.
If you haven't hired her yet, you have no business asking such personal questions. Again, what do you expect from her, to sign a contract that she'll stay single and celibate?
As a live in nanny I have had to sign contracts like this in the past. I was not aloud to date or be in a relationship while working for that employer. Yes it was strange but it was their rules and I didn't know that part of the contract until I got the job and flew there. I believe it also stated I was not aloud to be alone in a room with a man.
That is seriously effed up!
