How do I confront my nanny/friend for stealing from me?

Lesson learned. The cops probably won’t do much. If she had no problem stealing from you without a care in the world, lie straight to your face just imagine what she may have been doing to the things in your house and to your children.

First off change your pin and maybe just get a whole new card, second make sure you’ve locked away all valuable items, third keep her so you can finish your finals and shifts ( if you can not find anyone else that is) then send her a copy of the video of her at the atm along with a see you in court :smiley_cat: or even better a subpoena with a picture of her from the video!

Have her arrested. She needs to learn a lesson or else she will continue to do this to others. Believe me I have first hand experience from someone in my family. She’s now an out of control monster.

She shouldn’t have your debit card at all. And if she did she shouldn’t know your PIN number to be able to use the atm.:grimacing:

Call the police, bring your evidence and make a report. Bring her to your house and let the police come get her

Ummm how about you get someone else. Why on earth would you allow a thief around your children. If she can lie and steal money imagine what she could do to your children behind your back!!!

Change the pin and watch her squirm.

Why did you give her your card? Idiotic move on your part. But definitely press charges now that it played out this way. I hope you learn from your mistakes

I’d take it to the police and say you want to file charges on her for stealing. I also would not trust her to babysit your child anymore. I wouldn’t confront her, who knows what she will do.

Do you have a relative who can watch your kids? Can you get video from the ATM owners to show her using your card? You need to let her know with an independent witness that you have evidence, including video evidence. You have to decide if you are going to press charges. If you are, you should let the police know you have the evidence. Tell her she has the chance to do the right thing and turn herself in. If not, the police will pick her up. Don’t discuss any further. If you are not pressing charges, again, have an independent witness. Tell her you know the truth and that you hope the person you thought you knew would make it right. Her reaction will determine the next step. Change your locks, make sure you have security cameras, change passwords and accounts. Check to make sure she has not taken anything from your home or gotten credit with your info. This is not something from which a friendship will recover. No matter her excuses, she could have asked for help like you did. Forgive…but you cannot let her back in your home or around your family.

I have so many questions… did she steal your card? Did you lend her the card? How did she get your pin? Do you just leave your card lying around the house all the time?! (In NO way am I justifying her behavior, I’m just genuinely curious how she was able to do this multiple times lol) I’d immediately turn her in and press charges :rage: what an a*hole

She isn’t your friend if she is taking from you. She was already in trouble before and found someone who is busy and not looking to steal from. Not your friend. When you take the friend part out what are you left with? A person who stole from you, heck your child. Call the police and get restitution.

Friend or not, why would you give a felon access to your debit card AND pin?:thinking: Good luck trying to have her prosecuted because the burden of proof is on YOU. She can use the same information that you have to argue her case.

  1. She can say you gave her permission to use the card.
  2. She can say you allowed her to make withdraws for months because you didn’t catch it. My advice to you is to put credit card alerts on all of your cards and sign up for credit report alerts just in case she opens any accounts in your name.

So after she works that week …let her go as a sitter and a friend …dont give her her paycheck …im sure she took more than a months paycheck from you …if she wonders why and puts up a fuss …show her video footage

Wait, wait, wait - you’re still letting her be in your home and watching your kids?
In my personal opinion, find someone else ASAP. (Who knows what she is taking from your home) Fire her. Take everything to the police.

So she committed the felony by stealing from you or she had a record from before? If you knew and gave her you debit card??? Why? More importantly…you knew and let her watch your kids? Um…

Put a temporary hold on the card when she is around. Then get a whole new card that she will never get her hands on. Shut her off and press charges. A Felony is a Felony,make her pay for what she has done so she can’t do it again. Make different arrangements for your finals . Get your peace of mind back.

I own a nanny placement agency. This is quite vile behavior, specifically coming from a friend-nanny!

  1. Fire her IMMEDIATELY. If she’s capable of stealing, there is no questioning what else she would do.
  2. File a police report IMMEDIATELY.
  3. Disconnect from all communication with her & all social media / platforms you’re connected with.

Good luck! This is scary stuff!

Confront her now! Do you need her that much? Maybe you think you do but why would you want a thief around your kids. You refer to her as a friend! She is no friend. She does not respect you. She no doubt dislikes you. Get real and have her arrested and lose the friendship

Call the police, fire her immediately, close your debit card and get a new one, get a lawyer, try not to whoop that ass​:joy::joy:

Def do not pay her. I wouldnt have her at your house after finding this out. It may not look good on you.

Get the Finals done & find back-up FIRST!! Then bam it’s spider monkey style after that. I’ve grown a lot since my much younger, fighting years. But I’m not so sure I could handle this situation without beating her ass. I know the legal route would be the “right” thing to do, so hear me out. She came into your home with a felony already in her record! She’s. A. Criminal! She obviously couldn’t give two shits about a record. A little backyard street justice, using fists might just be what she needs🤷‍♀️

I doubt you’ll ever get your money back even going to court

I would take the police with you to pick her up.

My sister did this to me!!! I pressed charges against her and her boyfriend. I confronted as soon as I had footage and haven’t heard or seen them again. They were living with me rent free and I paid them to provide care and light housekeeping and still helped themselves. They’re repeat felony offenders for theft as well. Good luck mama. Might be hard but time to cut her off

I would let the police handle it. She’s no friend of yours. I would also take an inventory of my jewelry & other valuables. I wish you luck. If you need a nanny, get one from a reputable company & make sure they are bonded.
If you have to give them a debit card, start an account specifically for them. Make sure they account for any money they use & don’t put more than $100.00 in the account.

You DON’T confront her. Confrontations can go VERY badly. She was unpredictable enough to steal from her own friend, you don’t know what else she’s capable of. Do NOT let her watch your children. Go to the police and file a report. The fact that she’s done this more than once proves she isnt sorry.

I dont like confrontation because I always get so flustered and so mad that nothing I say comes out right. And I am sorry but if she can look you straight in the eye and deny it all and say she hopes you find the person… Then she’s got something else up her sleeve that she thinks even if she gets caught by you she feels she has a way out. Dont play in to her. Go straight to your local police department and file fraud charges and give them the tape and any other proof you have also tell them about it being a friend and her mother. Being a nurse is hard and takes a lot time And you dont need any extra stress for exams or clinicals. Have the police handle it all. Good luck with your nursing career.

Don’t confront her call the the police let them investigate and put her in jail where she belongs

I wouldn’t confront her without police present and a plan in place. You never know how she’ll react especially if she’s bent on not going back to jail, and if you’re at home with the children around. It’s tricky since I know and it sounds like you really need the help, but I wouldn’t want her back in my home at all whatsoever. Maybe tell her as far as payment she has to wait so you don’t want her to come without being paid (so she’s not suspicious) due to the situation, and then go through with filing a report and getting her arrested. I don’t think I could let her back into my home at all it’s too much of a liability for me, partially because I’d want to fight her myself for taking from my kids lol. If she’s not able to take the card and money directly, what’s to say she won’t take other valuables since she knows the card is being watched. Let the law handle it and keep yourself safe in the meanwhile. So sorry you’re having to deal with this!! I hope she gets caught and you get your money back.

Why would you give her your card information? Why not just get the money for her from the ATM and pay her after get off work with cash? Also…in order to be arrested…she has to have taken at least $500,so need records showing that much was taken. To be a felony,i believe she has to have taken over 1k. Also,if you gave her the card,or a card,to take money out of the account,then police probably wont do anything as you enabled her.
Then,dont let her know you know. Just say you dont need her help anymore,get the records,and send police to her home with the warrant after file a complaint with police or else she could run. Also…close that bank account and open a new one with new card.
