So sad .
Scary part is I just heard on the news that the family did an extensive background check on the woman before hiring her, they even checked back home, where she is from.
You just never know .
Breaks my heart.
I heard that too! I heard they also went back to the Dominican Republic & stayed with the nanny & her family for 2 weeks!!!! Just goes to show you, it doesn't matter what you do, crazy is crazy. 
I just wanna take DS & stay in the house 24/7.
You can't trust anyone. Anyone.
I feel like the only people I trust to babysit are my parents or sister or DH's family.
I don't even want a teenager in my house babysitting for a quick Saturday night out. I feel like I'm sick in the head but I'm just paranoid.
And then stories like this- drive it home more.
this is me as well , people think I'm crazy, but I was a nanny for a long time in the city and I know there is all kinds of people out there, nannies who shouldn't be allowed around kids at all... And it is SO easy to get fake references, recommendations, and background checks don't always find everything, sad, but true.

Background checks only go so far.
You truly never know about someone...just because they have no prior convictions means nothing. People snap all the time, people have undiagnosed mental illness...
I am a control freak when it comes to my kids..i'll admit it. I've been a stay at home mom for 6 years now getting by on very little money because I just don't trust many people. Thats my own issue though and I know it's prob being TOO overprotective. I trust certain babysitters that i've known for a while and my family of course, but never felt comfortable with anyone else. It's sad when you do open your home to someone and trust your world with them...and this happens. It's not the norm but it just sickened me!!!

This family did the ultimate Background check IMO.

Re: Nanny stabs 4 people on upper west side
apparently the family was super close with the nanny. i read they even visited the DR with her in February and met her family. I think the mom's blog has been taken down, but i also read she referred to the nanny a lot and how she was a part of their family.
So, so sad. What kind of monster does this?
And I'm reading so many online comments which criticize the mother for having a nanny, that makes me even more sick.
Here is an interesting article:

Nanny stabs 4 people on upper west side
I wonder if the nanny had an underlying, undiagnosised mental illness.Perhaps she had a psychotic episode.

Seriously. It's really crazy. As a mother, you are damned if you do, damned if you don't. Why does it always have to turn into a "Mommy war"? It's so stupid. Every mother I know does the best they can with what they have to work with.
There was absolutely no way to predict this or stop this from happening. This is a terrible, horrific tragedy and nobody should be expressing anything but sympathy and compassion for this poor family.

I couldn't sleep last night, thinking about this poor family. The pain and suffering they are going through. Such hard working parents and this is what happens, I just don't understand. This nanny does not deserve to breathe!!

I agree with that article. I feel awful for those poor kids and the parents and remaining sibling. But I can't stand the nasty comments implying that this is the parents' fault for hiring help.

This is me too. This is why DH and I dont go out at night without DD. We dont have family easily accessible and I dont trust random people with my CHILD. Sux but this is how I feel.

They haven't even charged the nanny yet. I dunno, the more I think about it, the more this story Just doesn't make sense. How do you slice open your throat and F that up?! Maybe there was an attacker that came in & tried to make it look like the Nanny did it? I know I sound like I'm grasping at straws, but maybe I just can't fathom this.

that was my first thought but since they're saying the nanny did it, all i can think of was that maybe she has a severe mental illness

Re: Nanny stabs 4 people on upper west side
One thing I don't get is this, how do they even know that it was a nanny if they haven't talked to her yet? From the first minutes this was discovered they said it was the nanny, but how did they know if the nanny was/ is in "critical condition and unable to talk"

I think because she was holding the knife, I guess? But again it could've been placed there.

Re: Nanny stabs 4 people on upper west side
Who is the 4th person? She stabbed those two babies (poor innocent things) and herself. I honestly cannot even describe my feelings for this poor mother. I could not....

I just can't get over this awful story. Its not like me, but I think for me, like many others, this just hits way too close to home. I live right around the corner from the family and just can't stop thinking about it.

Re: Nanny stabs 4 people on upper west side
This is so sick.. and I know I'm nuts..
but what if someone framed the nanny?
They found her with a knife in her hand.. but what if someone was trying to kill her as well and left? I wonder what she'll say when she finally speaks.. I feel so bad for the mother
Edited for spelling

Re: Nanny stabs 4 people on upper west side
This is one of the most horrific and heartbreaking stories. I can't stop thinking about that poor family and the two beautiful lives that were lost. I've actually been searching for a nanny the past few weeks, and this makes me even more scared about being able to find someone to trust with my baby.
