Why is it trolling to be concerned about this?  I fully support nanny's need and/or desire to work elsewhere and no longer for us if that is what is best for her.  [b]I think DD would adjust fine if she didn't see her again, but not if she has to see her on a regular basis caring for other children but not be able to care for her.[/b]  I don't understand why people can't see how hurtful this could be to a small child.[/quote]

What?? You think it'd be better for a surrogate parent (as you basically described her) to drop out of her life entirely rather than stay in touch just less frequently?  You crazy.

My daughter visited her old nanny for occasional babysitting for several years after we parted ways officially.  And when she moved from preschool to kindergarten (in the same school), her favorite preschool teacher was still there, and it was often the highlight of her day when she got to see her on occasion in K, brief though those interactions were.[/quote]

No, of course, I think it's better for DD to stay in touch with nanny.  Nanny and I have discussed this and she has said she will do regular weekend babysitting if and when she leaves us.  I also think DD would be fine if time passed between when nanny stopped working for us during the week and when nanny started working at the school so DD had some time to adjust to nanny leaving.  But I think it would be difficult for DD to have to see nanny switch roles so abruptly.  Also, every kid is different.  DD would probably take it worse than most.[/quote]
