Need Advice on Nanny

[roisinK20]

Just need an advice what’s the best thing to do in this situation.

I asked my nanny to take my 2 year old son to the park and she is working with us from last few months. She did not locked the buggy belt and my son hit his forhead badly in the porch area which is bit narrow and you need to take an extra precaution while manovering.

I think she did this intentionally as she got angry. As we had the conversation before that the things she needs to be careful but that’s just the speculation.

Now I am finding it hard to trust her. And advice, how I should be responding to this situation. Shall I take it seriously or talk to her again. Thanks

Well if you think she did it on purpose the fact you are finding it hard to trust her is irrelevant. She should be instantly gone .

Erm, really? If you think she harmed your child on purpose the only conversation you should be having is with the police.

Protect your son! If you have any suspicion that someone would hurt your child on purpose they should not be anywhere near your child.

If you think your nanny would wilfully harm a child you need to contact the police. Please think about whether your concerns are justified first though.

What makes you think she's done this on purpose?

Do you mean you think she intentionally didn't put his belt on ? Or intentionally let his head get knocked. Either way there's no trust so just let her go.

Well I wouldn't trust someone who got angry and the let my child get hurt.

Let's imagine she wasn't angry- what kind of nanny doesn't do up pushchair straps? It's basic safety.

I think she internationally did not put the seat belt as the space is narrow and my son accidentally hit his fore head as he moves a lot. And I don't have an proof and it's just my guess from her body language. As she is working with us from last 6 months and she knows really well how to use the buggy.

Some children in certain buggies can hop in and out without the need for the straps (at about aged 2) however it doesn't sound like this is a situation where this would work! However, either way, you don't trust her. So don't leave her with your child!

So why are you still employing her? Poor kid.

At the very least you should do a formal warning. But if you have any doubts look into what you must do legally to get rid of her

If you don't trust her to care for your child properly then you need to terminate her employment.

Thanks All. I have took the decision not to continue with her
