Our Nanny had a small car accident about a year or so ago ( she had the children in the car ) but said that it was the other persons fault. We thought that this could happen to any of us and but yesterday she had an accident and het car was a write off. I am starting to get worried. Luckily she was not got hurt and as she was driving to work she did not have the children.
She does the school pick up and drop off and after school activities.
We do like her and don't want to be a nasty employers but at the same time don't want to compromise our children' s safety.
I am totally confused and need advice to deal with this.

I had a bad year in 2009 and had 3 accidents. Had been driving since 1988 and nothing and nothing since. Should I stop driving dd round?

They're called accidents for a reason. It's just one of those things. Unless she was drunk or stoned or playing Angry Birds on her mobile then you've no more cause for concern than you did this time last week.

What are you suggesting, sack her because she had an accident?

Is she being charged with a driving offence?
