I don't think I am a bad person but I know I will never make a nanny a friend or rely on them emotionally again. I have learnt from this.

It is “learned” not “learnt” and no you have not learned anything! For God’s sake, you messed up and cost your kids a great nanny! You are still whining about “hurting” and still not taking responsibility for your mistakes. Of course you shouldn’t rely emotionally on an employee but once you do you have a responsibility to continue to treat them like a friend! And you should never have left cards around stating your intention to put her out of a job.

The more you write the same nonsense excuses over and over again, the worse you look.

If you aren’t a bad person, you most certainly are a stupid one.

You were hurt. Now the nanny is hurt, by your hand. You are both entitled to your feelings, but only one of you is right.

Honestly, it sounds like you have grown too close with your nanny. It sounds more like a friendship than an employer-employee relationship. Thus, it seems like you are mostly upset that your "friend" is leaving you, rather than an employee quitting. Find a new nanny and keep it all on a business level next time.
