[quote=Anonymous]Op I am sorry but I would have started looking at the first mention of shutdown.

I would not sit around and wait for you to tell me oh sorry I can't pay you file for unemployment.

Unemployment is crap money and doesn't cover all the bills (and yes I am a nanny who has NO debt - because I planned ahead an PAID everything off and have a 9 month saving account for the just incase).

I truely understand you think you are helping your nanny by this but you are not. You need to realize that she may already be looking and that when all is said and done that you may have to look for another nanny. I think there are tons of people in the same boat as you. There are threads all over this forum about this (unless you posted every place!)

What if your kids where in daycare? Would you pull them in the hopes that your spot would be there when you could return? Would you continue to pay for daycare keeping your kids in that care in order to hold the spot?

I think you need to just realize this is a crappy situtation for everyone involved and let things just happen and work out. There is nothing you can do about the shutdown and fixing it. Your nanny shouldn't have to deal with food stamps, government checks and health clinics because you can't pay her. Would you want to live like that???

Oh and I agree with the others -- you and your husband should have been a bit more prepared because of the contract work! You never know when that will end and new work starts. [/quote]
