NP. You can't just fire someone with no notice or severance unless they're stealing from you or harming your child. What the heck? I can't even imagine treating our nanny so poorly.

OP, it's not a good fit. Wait until the day you want to let her go, tell it's her last day, and hand her a check with the pay you owe her + two weeks severance + the payout from her unused vacation time. Then let her gather her things and say goodbye to your kids.

This isn't hard, folks. [/quote]

Um, wonttbis be a bit abrupt for the kids? I’d tell her on a Thursday. Last day Friday + 2 weeks severance and vacation and Thank you. [/quote]

Yes, but clearly the OP doesn't care. She's trying to get away without paying any severance (!!), and at least this way, the nanny and the children get to say goodbye. I'm stunned by the number of crazy parents who just fire nannies and don't even let them say goodbye at all or ever see the kids again.  [/quote]
