Would you consider this job abandonment?

OP, any updates? Have you been able to hire someone else?

Our nanny whom we have had for about 1.5 years texted me yesterday to say she had a flat tire and was getting it "taken care off," two hours later she texted to let me know her donut tire was not going to get her to work, she needed to replace all the tires and that she didn't have enough money to pay it since she hadn't received her paycheck from the payroll company. She requested I wire her some money. After wiring her the money I didn't hear back from her and this morning she didn't report to work. She did not answer my calls or my texts. Should I consider this job abandonment if I don't hear back by the end of the day?

I know it is hard to hear for victims of DV, but the world can't stop and wait for resolution... Especially in the situations of 1 person employment and the fact that the nanny works with most precious people for OP. If OP would wait for the nanny, how would she know that crazy X would not show up at her house? I feel for the nanny, but I would probably pay her full severance per contract, and move on. The nanny likely can file for unemployment, and will likely win depending on DV protections, but it is a small price to pay for OP to make sure crazy X is not connected to her kids. I get that nanny might be afraid, but seriously I don't know if anyone would want to trust their kids to someone who is afraid. Life is tough. I'm sorry for the nanny, but OP has to protect herself and her kids, and she also needs reliable childcare.
