My Nanny Quit and I'm Mad.

We told her we wanted her to stay until he goes to school ( he's 4-months-old). She said a new job came up, and didn't give us more than a days notice. I am so sad how she has treated us. I didn't expect her to treat us like this. Now I have to search for a new sitter all over again.

You sound entitled and selfish. That's a real shame.

Lol I work 7 hours a week as an RN. So the answer is yes.

She is rich enough that she doesn't have to work. It's the nanny who is the uneducated airhead, the hired help.

Why would a nanny take the job in the first place if she needed FT hours?

Wait, you support yourself completely on 7 hours of RN work a week? No alimony, no support from a partner, no weekly pay out of lotto Winn NCS?

Teach me your magic!

She thought she could find another job for 26 hours, which would give her 40 total (with OPs 14). However, OP keeps switching up her hours, making finding another job to fill the rest of the hours very, very hard. Nanny smartened up and found one job at 40 hours.

Just a guess.

Lol being rich doesn’t mean you’re smart. Also, who knows where her money came from.

OP is super entitled.

Your friends should have hired more carefully and paid better. The nanny got a better offer.

A day's notice for 14 unguaranteed hours a week, isn't exactly screwed. She would change her hours and make her make up hours when she didn't need her. The woman had a chance to start making a decent living. OP is a SAHM.

I cannot see how OP got screwed.

You get two weeks notice for a full-time job, or maybe with a part-time job where the hours are set.

Sounds like your nanny decided to change her hours, too. See how that works? She couldn't count on you, and you couldn't count on her. It's a fair cop.
