Checking more recordings to see if she was missing something else, she discovered that the nanny left her daughter in an enclosed pantry and her toddler unattended in the backyard. To her dismay, it didn’t end there.
People online suggested she check if there was theft too, with one Redditor, InvisibleShadow2U writing:
“Because no one has mentioned it: check your valuables, especially any that you keep in your bedroom.
If she’s turning off the camera, she may well be digging through your stuff.”
Responding to this, the woman gave an update and said she checked her room for anything missing and discovered that a couple of her toddler’s outfits and her daughter’s small blanket had vanished.
Even the box of old baby clothes she’d set aside for charity had gone missing. The nanny’s father later returned the things, except for the blanket because she claimed she couldn’t find it.
“I’ve worked as a nanny. This is beyond inappropriate.
You need boundaries in place, like, yesterday,” user gatitamonster commented, adding, “Part of making that my profession is recognizing and respecting the fact that I’m not the child’s parent.”
Several parents suggested what the woman needed to do next after her horrific experience with the nanny came to light.
The ordeal placed immense stress on the mother, who was horrified that she unknowingly encouraged a situation that put her children’s health and safety at risk. This compelled her to make a tough call.
“We’ve decided to let her go… I’m going to be taking a few weeks of leave to take my kids in for check-ups, get them a proper caregiver, and overall spend time with them,” she concluded.
