Hello all. I posted a few days ago about a nanny who grabbed my dd's wrist. I had a good sitdown with the both of them and thought I had it sorted. Got home the other night to nanny saying dd was 'awful' because she didn't listen to her (strange, because the other days dd was apparently 'lovely'). She then subjected me to the most incredible verbal abuse, which I am still in shock over.

She's advertising on gumtree as a Nanny with 5 years experience (not true). Please be careful if you are looking for a sole charge nanny. She has never been left alone with a child, because the mothers have always been or worked at home. I won't write her email, but I would be happy to mail out personally if necessary.

I was so desperate for childcare that I thought it was just a blip and we could all get over it. But, that was not the case.

When I posted, I got most of you saying get rid of her. I should have listened then. However, I have now and will def learn by the experience.

Please be careful. x
