Heather fired Katie. And then things took an unexpected turn. The next nanny Heather hired, Sara*, started getting confronted on the street by a group of six or seven caregivers who were loyal to her predecessor. They would call out to Caleb by name, take videos and pictures of him, and sometimes malign Heather to Sara. “They told her I was a bitch who couldn’t be trusted,” says Heather. At the Children’s Museum, they called Sara an “idiot” in front of Heather’s mom.
