[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah. We had this with our last nanny. She was a great person but stopped engaging but we had a couple months left before 3 and preschool so we let it go. 
You need to have a calm conversation about needing certain things to happen. Like talking with the kid (very important). Reading books for sure. Mention again about activities, say you'd like 2 craft times a week or whatever and offer outdoor space (if available) so jts not too messy. I switched both my kids at 3 from nannies. They need more interaction, to learn how to play together and share and its way more fun with crafts every day and activities etc. My kids nap well at daycare but they are so active they also fall asleep well at night.

Thank you! Just curious how you let her go under those circumstances? And if you helped her find a new job? I don’t want to leave her in a bind but not sure how I can wholeheartedly recommend in good faith.[/quote]

NP here: You don't help them find a new job when you're firing them! You can give two weeks notice (We won't need you after June 15th) AFTER you've secured a start date for the new childcare arrangement. Or you can just tell them at the end of a day "We won't need you any longer, please give me  your key. Here's your final check plus a two week bonus." I would only give the two weeks for a full time nanny because they often live paycheck to paycheck. [/quote]
