Nanny hit baby but no proof

Hi everyone. Awful topic. My 2 and a half year old has claimed that her nanny hit her while I was away. I know she has become scared of her recently (she only started with us 3 weeks ago) and I trust my little girl. She doesn't make stuff up, and I know my guy. Equally I don't want and can't say anything along these accusing ljnes as we don't have cameras. What do I do.

No one has employment rights for 2 years, other than the Equality Act and HASAWA type stuff. So just do as PP says, tell her it's not working out then say nothing else.

Does that apply in France where the OP is based?

@Passepartoute happy to be wrong. No issues with that.

Not allowed to type my concerns so better to report.

What about safeguarding other children she may work with? If you believe your daughter, and she's telling the truth shouldn't the nanny be reported?

I suggest before you leave your baby and toddler with another nanny, you ensure you have CCTV fitted, and make sure you have a watertight contract drawn up. Also, 4K???

I'm assuming 4k is the employers cost not what the nanny receives after tax every month. I worked as a nanny over 10 years ago and was paid 50k which worked out around £16ph for a 60hr week 7-7. It was pretty standard for a high end nanny in Central London back then.

Get rid and trust your instinct.

I have seen some nannies I would never leave my child with and that's just observing them in the park or toddler groups.

But I wouldn't trust anyone with my child.

Terminate contract.

My thoughts exactly
