From the NZ Herald:
Nanny leaves 4-month-old home alone
By Andrew Koubaridis and Amelia Wade
"A 4-month-old baby was left alone by a professional caregiver who did not return to the house for more than two hours.
The unnamed caregiver has been sacked for her "inexcusable" mistake in leaving the baby boy alone in a house in Henderson, West Auckland this week.
The baby's father, Andrew Gous, left the infant with a caregiver from in-home childcare provider Porse on Wednesday morning, expecting him to be cared for while he and his wife were at work."
Nanny's $200 fine too little - father
"The nanny who left a 4-month-old baby alone has been given a $200 fine, disappointing the infant's father who says it's little more than a speeding ticket.
Rachel Simons, 31, pleaded guilty this week to one charge of leaving a child unsupervised.
The mother-of-two was employed as professional caregiver by Porse."
"The nanny who deserted a 4-month-old baby in her care for more than two hours had been under stress, her husband said last night.
Rachel Simons, 31, has been charged with leaving an infant unattended after the child's father unexpectedly turned up at her home to drop off nappies."
Scoop
"The news last week of the Nanny leaving baby alone is distressing in the extreme to all and questions are obviously being asked around how did this occur?"
