Also, no one needs to "train" new nanny. At least, not by the fired nanny, that much is obvious. My conclusion is that this is another made up post!

OP - to train new nanny I need to take days off work. Yes current nanny is trying to squeeze us, having been unreliable for six months now she’s nervous about losing the income

She can work somewhere else a month and then apply for unemployment and you can't deny it for her. Maybe if you had taken off time to train the current nanny she would know what it is that you want, wouldn't she?
Frankly, you don't sound very smart for keeping a sub par nanny fur six months!

OP please stop listening to these trolls and absolutely have the old nanny train the new nanny

You don't fire a nanny and demand she train her replacement.

OP here - so the new nanny started this week. We paid the old one for this week and let her know we’d like to use her occasionally for sitting etc as she lives close to us. She was absolutely livid and sent a bunch of angry texts that this news is a complete shock to her and she’s been blindsided and we should have given her more notice as she cancelled other jobs to work for us…note she only started to work for us in December and we had paid her for several weeks while we had the other candidates doing trials, all of which we were transparent with her about. I feel really naive but I’m glad we didn’t line her up to train the new one as it could have been disastrous
