I can't believe somebody showed up and banged on the door. We have always listed our rental on CL and I've always felt like it was common sense that people make arrangements to see it, just like you do any other real estate, whether you're buying or renting! You don't just show up. Ugh. </p> <p>I'm so sorry you had to tell her by yourself and that she was upset. It sounds like other people are really interested in hiring her though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-unexpectedly-had-to-tell-the-nanny-were-letting-her-go-just-now#post-754406 Wed, 01 May 2013 10:53:28 +0000 birdofafeather 754406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: what a crazy person! Fwiw, our area always has the addresses listed but no one just shows up and knocks. What a weirdo. Glad you found a renter but bummed you had to tell your nanny so unexpectedly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-unexpectedly-had-to-tell-the-nanny-were-letting-her-go-just-now#post-753972 Wed, 01 May 2013 07:14:05 +0000 PrincessBaby 753972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a renter:) I actually had removed the zillow trylia and CL ads over a week before this incident. There was ONE CL ad that I missed from about a week earlier. That was another reason I was so shocked bc in my mind, it wasnt even listed anymore. </p> <p>So no worries about the address! It's no longer listed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-unexpectedly-had-to-tell-the-nanny-were-letting-her-go-just-now#post-753963 Wed, 01 May 2013 07:10:49 +0000 Dandelion 753963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's just creepy!</p> <p>Maybe in the listing you can say to call for appointment to see the house, no coming to the door unannounced. It sounds like you have a renter coming, anyways, but just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-unexpectedly-had-to-tell-the-nanny-were-letting-her-go-just-now#post-753956 Wed, 01 May 2013 07:06:10 +0000 MrsTiz 753956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: eek could you put your street name or neighborhood but not your house number? That's scary, now people know you are moving and can come by and see if your home and ahh, don't you watch Dateline?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-unexpectedly-had-to-tell-the-nanny-were-letting-her-go-just-now#post-753908 Wed, 01 May 2013 06:00:28 +0000 PrincessBaby 753908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh just fyi, I dont know if it's different in certain areas, but absolutely everything on CL, zillow, &amp; trulia here post addresses! And we have been on CL Charleston to find a temp rental and pretty much everything there has the address listed as well...Which is nice to be able to map stuff, although I'd NEVER go knocking on their door w/o making arrangements first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-unexpectedly-had-to-tell-the-nanny-were-letting-her-go-just-now#post-753858 Wed, 01 May 2013 00:39:01 +0000 tequiero21 753858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never seen anyone post an address! You'd get weirdos like him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-unexpectedly-had-to-tell-the-nanny-were-letting-her-go-just-now#post-753648 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:47:31 +0000 Running Elley 753648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh what a mess!!!

I feel so badly for your nanny :( poor girl!

We got a renter from zillow, fortunately:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-unexpectedly-had-to-tell-the-nanny-were-letting-her-go-just-now#post-753431 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 18:21:16 +0000 Lindsay05 753431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh!

It was killing me:(. I had planned on DH and I telling her together and doing it alone and seeing the realization/disappointment register on her face was heartbreaking!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-unexpectedly-had-to-tell-the-nanny-were-letting-her-go-just-now#post-743442 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:43:02 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 743442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First of all who freakin just shows up at someone's home like that? </p> <p>Second, yeah that's bad. To be fair though you really didn't intend for her to find out that way. Oh well, I'm sure she will still report to work tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-unexpectedly-had-to-tell-the-nanny-were-letting-her-go-just-now#post-743441 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:42:54 +0000 lawbee11 743441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG!

So we were planning on telling her next week and give her a full month's notice.</p> <p>Well, some asshat somehow found our listing on CL and CAME TO OUR HOUSE, beating on the door. H was sleeping and I guess the nanny was desperate to not have her woken up, so she answered it (totally not supposed to answer door!). The guy TELLS HER IT'S ON CL AND THAT HE WANTS TO SEE IT!!!</p> <p>So the first thing she asked me when I got home was why it was listed. I wanted to die! I wasn't prepared! I had to tell her and she was upset and I feel HORRIBLE!</p> <p>I can't believe this just happened! </p>
