Nanny Issues - WWYD?

boredbored
in Working Moms
Our nanny has her grandson living with her.  She watches our child and three others, for a total of four kids under 18 months.  Her son lived with her but recently passed away.  Her grandson still lives with her.  Today he took a bunch of pills and took off with the dog.  Basically tried to commit suicide.  Would you pull your child out of her care?  We love her, love her methods, our daughter is happy there, everything is wonderful except her grandson who is not reacting well to his father's death.

    I would not leave my kids in an environment where an individual in the environment was very unstable, for whatever the reason. Also, the nanny's attention is going to be diverted to her grandson and take away from the care of the children. If things changed in the future I would consider going back, but for the present would find alternative care.

    I agree.  I would find alternative care until your nanny has things a little more stable.  I wouldn't want my DS in an environment where people are suicidal.

    I agree with PPs. ?I would make alternative arrangements until things are closer to normal at your provider's house. ?I'd be honest with her about it and let her know that you want to return if the environment becomes more stable (if you do). ?

    ?That sounds like a very difficult situation for all involved. ?I hope you can find a solution that you are comfortable with. ?

    i would pull my child away from that environment pronto.  there are plenty of good nannies/daycares out there.  i wouldn't give it a second thought.

    I agree with the pp. This is a very difficult decision for you to have to make but it doesn't sound like the best place for your child to be right now.

    I agree with everyone else it's unfortunate, but you have to protect your baby.

    Oh yeah, I would find another nanny for now until things are back to normal, who knows, she may also be going through a rough time, but trying to be strong because she "has to" babysit the children. It seems a bit unstable in that home right now and you want the best for your child, without any regrets later.

    Yes, I'd pull her out.  Plus, 4 kids under 18 months is a lot.
