Not all employment contracts have notice periods. But understand your point.
Thanks, agree that it's not my job to make the other family realize that they should be paying for 30 days.

Although 2 weeks is standard notice in most employment situations, was wondering if the nanny share/nanny world is different. Considering that there is a tremendous imbalance between the employers and the nanny (in most situations) it's only fair to give more notice.
How much notice is adequate for ending a nanny's employment? Our current nanny share is dissolving. We gave everyone 30 days' notice and are paying through the 30 day period. But the other family only gave the nanny 2.5 weeks notice. I feel very strongly that they are being extremely unfair and are putting the nanny in a terrible position since she has to scramble to find new work. If it were me, i'd pay the nanny for a 30 day period even if she won't be working for the full 30 days.

Any thoughts? Thanks.
What if DC is less than a year? What would you do? Thanks.
Has anyone moved from a nanny share to a daycare and regretted it? What age do people typically transition their children to daycare from a nanny arrangement?
What about holiday bonus for a new nanny? Our nanny (who we really like so far) will only have worked for us by Xmas for a month and a half.

Is a $100 cash gift reasonable plus a small tangible gift?
