[quote=Anonymous]Do you have a nanny contract? If so, did you lay anything out regarding notice for terminating employment? I'd start there. But, more broadly, I'd say be as honest as possible. "Now that Larla is getting older, we're looking for something different in a nanny," or just, "It's not working anymore." Don't sugar coat or lie. Do, to the extent possible, help her move on (e.g. write a good reference, ask her how much time she thinks she needs to find another role, etc.). This kind of thing happens way more than you think. We lucked out that nanny #2 has stayed with us for almost 7 years, but the first nanny I hired was a really bad fit. I didn't know better, so I was going to try to make it work. Luckily, she did know better, and she said went and found another role that was a better fit for her. I wish she had given me more notice, but in the end it was better for both of us, I think.[/quote]
