Nanny has a new boyfriend, half her age

Hi all,

I have a new nanny (with me for 3 weeks, live-in) who is so far fantastic in every respect - honestly, best I've ever had.
The problem I have now is that she told me earlier today she has a boyfriend and asked whether it is ok for him to come and spend a couple of hours in the house next week.
I asked her about this boyfriend, and it turned out that he is around half her age (she is late 50s, he is late 20s). This has really alarmed me, especially as she seems to be totally irrational / love-bombed when talking about this (very new) relationship, already planning a wedding, speaking of him as the love of her life etc.
I said no, but now I am scared she will ignore what I said and bring him around when I am at work next week. Scared to the point that I am thinking of letting her go now (probation is 4 weeks).
Please tell me I am grossly overreacting? Or not?

I’d get rid and nit feel bad about it - she’s clearly either a) being groomed or b) off her rocker. Wgat you v man would like to help out with other people kids. If I wanted to be generous I’d say she want to shag him in your nice bed.
