[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Agree to disagree.

Methinks this is a thread full of over entitled nannies, or nannies who have been treated badly by families in the past.

We treat our nanny wonderfully and love her and she loves us. But it’s not a crime, nor is it “selfish, entitled and unrealistic” for our children to grow up and to troubleshoot ideas for how to scale back or adjust our hours, then to come to the conclusion that perhaps the best option is to part ways. Which, though it’s no one’s business and not relevant to my question at hand so I didn’t mention it, was our original agreement with our nanny since last August. She was always aware that we would part ways when the kids went to school all five days. My latest wondering about whether we could extend that timeline was simply because of how much I love her.

“Give her some notice for the love of God” is literally so over the top of a response. What is wrong with you guys. What did you think I would do, kick her out with my boot and change our locks? Literally WTF. [/quote]

Ageing out of needing a nanny is normal and expected, but you are ignoring the fact that you will soon have a new baby, who will need care. Your plan seems to be lacking foresight.  Mom of three here, who has never been a nanny but has 1) paid a nanny while I was on maternity leave in order to keep her (honestly, it was great!)  2) aged out of needing a nanny and said goodbye to our beloved nanny so she could move onto a new family. Good luck with everything![/quote]
