This. Btdt with a 2yo and a 6yo who was very attached to our nanny of four years since they went through Covid together. It was rough at first but we found another great nanny and they (and we) have adjusted beautifully.
You need to keep a rein on your emotions and not fall apart so easily, especially in front of your kids. Adopt a stiff upper lip and be their source of strength. At the end of the day a nanny is a paid employee not a blood relation or dear friend. Your children’s lives are not falling apart, they are not losing a parent or having their parents get divorced. That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t express sadness, but keep what is happening in perspective.
