[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a nanny, nor have I ever had one. What you propose is terrible. You, of all people, should know how awful it is to suddenly lose your income. And yet you propose to yank the rug out from under your nanny, who probably has fewer resources than you?

You should have had some reasonable notice language in your contract, as someone mentioned upthread. If you would like her to keep working for you afterwards, I suggest you negotiate some sort of manageable compromise; i.e. reduced hours, an agreement to pay her back once you're back to work, etc. It sucks to pay for childcare that you're not using, but you need to treat her right. Nannies are not day laborers that you hire and fire daily based on your needs.[/quote]

Let's be honest here. A nanny how is presumed to be on a lower compensation would have many more resources to fall back on than an employer who's income goes from let's say 300k to 80k.[/quote]

So let me get this straight.  You think your nanny should have more savings than a family that earns 300K a year? [/quote]
