I didn't really think things were bad, but rather, the Nanny probably watched too much TV and maybe Vietbabe just didn't like her. I had caught her "nodding off" on the couch once but that was it. But I took this advice you gave (as well as the other posters, especially the one whose child had his bunny toy beaten up at the behest of the sitter and said "listen to your child") and hired a new gal who can't start until start Feb. 9. I figured I could at least leave today to go for the office a few hours. I did. But first turned on the Nanny Cam that arrived at 6 am this morning and which I set up.
The footage was shocking. I don't want to say more, except that I just finished watching 6 hours of my child sobbing pathetically (for good reason) in a corner -- a place I was actually happy to see the Nanny keep her in after witnessing the results of the three attempts at contact my daughter made with her. Will be working through with family re: what to do next.
Thanks for giving me the guts to do this. Obviously, I am going to recommend that EVERYONE with childcare get a Nanny Cam, if only to watch how your child spends ONE DAY. Fuck privacy.
