| In my opinion, your daughters/ childrens safety comes first above anything. Plus when we leave our children with someone we trust them to tell us when accidents happen, so that we can deal with them. Accidents can happen in both a parents or helpers care. However, she should have been upset by what happened and remorseful, even if it was an accident. As a parent, that is the natural reaction. If she had acted upset and remorseful, I wouldve felt more comfortable. As she chose to try and hide it, i think this is of concern. What if the baby knocks her head and doesnt tell you, or swallows something she shouldnt. She must be willing to tell you. If you feel anyway uncomfortable with her, and feel you can not trust her fully with your children, then I personally I would, following the correct procedures, look for a new helper. The decision must come down to you, and whether you can still trust her 100% with your children. |
