[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this is how the nanny reacted then she already wanted to quit. This was a last straw. Nobody would do this in a good working arrangement.[/quote]

Agree with this. I can’t imagine quitting without discussing this or at least questioning the policy and giving the employer the benefit of the doubt[/quote]

I’m a nanny. If I had a great family and was paid well I’d probably be annoyed if this was sprung on me but I wouldn’t quit on the spot.  We’d have a discussion as to why my employer felt it was necessary to require a doctors not of me.   I do wonder OP, do you give PTO?  That matters here.

If this family was already difficult it would give me the perfect excuse to quit and I would.  As others said, it would be the straw that broke the camels back.  If nanny didn’t discuss it she probably already decided and knew discussing was a waste of time.  I’ve quit jobs that weren’t working out without explanation.  I give my notice, as OPs nanny did, because that’s professional.  The reasoning doesn’t matter if you are confident in your decisions.  How many nannies are going to sit there and tell their employees they think they’re lazy parents and their kids are unlikable?  What’s the point?  Just ruins a reference.  You just say the job doesn’t work for you anymore and act as a professional until you finish out your notice. [/quote]
