[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s terrible of you to rescind an offer when she was upfront with you and has done nothing wrong to warrant it. It would be even more awful if she has quit her part time job in reliance on this offer. Plenty of people commute for work; she has indicated to you that she will work it out. Give her a chance to do so.[/quote]

I don’t disagree but in our defense (this is OP) I asked her straight up in the interview if the hours were going to be too much for her and the commute was too rough. She assured me neither was an issue and that she is used to commuting and has childcare for her kids so that will never be a problem. We had a really good rapport and she reiterated how much she wanted the job (checking in after the interview) so I wasn’t very concerned about her childcare/commute until we made her the offer when it became clear she doesn’t have these pieces figured out and seemed a bit worried about them.

DH and I have both taken most of our annual vacation leave this summer since our last nanny is already gone and we needed to bridge the gap with someone new starting. We have been looking for a new nanny for 3 months so I am worried if she leaves we won’t have a ton of notice and then will be screwed because we can’t take off a ton of time at the summer to start the search over.[/quote]
