[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not reading the pages before but OP-I’d be done with this nanny. She works for you-you set terms of her employment. You made decision (I fully support) that you believe an in-site back up support person was a good idea and who better than someone invested in everyone’s happiness than your mother. Again-your employee is fulfilling the needs you defined.

The nanny had no legitimate cause to feel undermined and just because she decided circumstances had changed and she could drop her long standing commitment at great cost and upheaval to others would be a firable offense in my book and there’d be no grace period.[/quote]

I actually sort of agree with this.  Maybe you could have asked first.  I think it is very rude of your nanny to just quit like that.  You can apologize and explain your reasoning.  And think those ages is a lot of work!  What is the baby has a bad night and nanny can’t sleep - it would be nice to have backup.  I don’t know your mother but I assume she is a nice woman.  Sounds like you explained that nanny would be in charge - make sure nanny know that.  For what it is worth my mother spent many a days with out various nannies when she came to visit and it was no issues.  Nannies told me they loved my mom and it was nice to have company.  My mom was liked by everyone though.  Pretty sure nannies like her better.  I am not sure if my mom “helped” but she did participate in whatever was going on. She was only there to visits us though.  I don’t see why it couldn’t do it.

I also had another time where sister and husband visited.  They ended up all going to the movies and took nanny to lunch.  The next day aunt and uncle took older one and the baby stayed with nanny.  Everyone seemed happy.[/quote]
