| I am somewhat new to nannying and have been with NF for 8 months. Out of the blue my MB said they are giving me a 30 day notice. My bosses never offered an explanation and its been a week. They already wrote a great letter of recommendation and said it wasn't ending because of me. I came to terms with it being a very personal matter and do not need to know. However, both of my bosses have been open with finances, jobs, health issues, etc. I know I can find another job but I am sad that I have to leave so abruptly. How do you experienced nannies handle such a situation? I am still being professional and not letting my emotions show, but I'm sad about it ending. Both of my bosses are really ( not sure why) happy. I must be the only sad about this ending. What sucks is I have a great attachment with their twins and they are very attached to me as well. I know it's ending and I've come to terms with that. How do you handle these situations and does it get easier to leave a family that you are semi-established or established with? I hate the feeling of having to start over with another family. It really sucks. |

| If they're happy, I'm guessing mom is pregnant and is going to quite now to be a SAHM, they are moving for a better job, or grandma is coming to town to do it for free. |

| I'd like to note that my bosses have blatantly shown they don't care if I'm an employee or not. The mom told me very matter of fact and I have never seen much warm emotion towards me or any indication they ever liked me. The only time I heard a sign of that was when she gave me notice. |

| Or they found someone cheaper that does more housework. |

They have no relatives willing to nanny their children, my bosses don't want more children (physically can't), and SAHM is not her. She has voiced how she would never stay home. I doubt they are moving because they own their own business and its not easy to relocate that. I'm just hurt by their lack of emotions towards me. |

| I said I don't really care for the reason why. I am wondering how to handle leaving a child you bonded with and a family you've established yourselves with? |

| 30 days? You are lucky to get a week. |

I realize that I am lucky for that. Now can you please stop with the snide comments or get off my post. I've asked a simple question yet no answers to it. Maybe you aren't all nannies? |

| Can't you still see the children? |

My boss didnt mention anything about keeping in touch and when I did, she sort if dismissed the idea. I'm guessing no. |

| You just have to move on, this wasn't the best fit. Try and focus your energy on getting a new nanny job. My guess is they just didn't click with you. It happens to the best of us. |

Jealous mother. Did you see "Manufacturing Motherhood"? It's a land mine. |

After you fire the nanny staying in contact doesn't make much sense. Now a beloved nanny of 6 years, that is different. |

It was a actually a great fit. Although my bosses never directly told me, they told family members how much they loved me and how wonderful I am at my job. I'm not sure why they never verbalized so until the end. I don't believe they are getting a new nanny and I do speculate my MB is sick. She had ovarian cancer with the twins and had a partial hysterectomy 11 months ago, after birth. |

Not true. I have nanny friend who hit it off with her nanny family. They ended up moving for a job 6 months in. It's been a few months and her ex-employers are still in contact with her. They initiated it, in fact. |
