Our current nanny is aware of it but I don't know your situation and I think there are MANY situations in which you wouldn't need to tell her ahead of time. It's interesting that so many nannies on here advocate all the time that a nanny should have a new job lined up before she leaves her current one but when they don't even know your circumstances they think you are awful for not doing the same. Talk about hypocrisy!

But to answer your actual question, when we interview a candidate we just tell the children "a lady is coming over to meet us." Mine are only 3.5 and 2 so that's enough of an explanation for them.

Just answer the question. This is unnecessary, and is exactly what starts bitter arguments.

Control freak.

It doesn't set a good example to your children regarding ethics and you do not want to teach your children to lie.


I say let your current nanny know she is being let go, and of course, continue searching for a new nanny.

To teach your children to keep their lips sealed is to teach them to deceive and at this young age, this is just wrong.

This.
