[quote=Anonymous]DH and I had a realization last in in sitting down to sign up for preschool next year that it makes no financial sense to keep our PT nanny next fall once both kids in preschool. If money wasn't an issue, we would keep her current hours and have her do housekeeping, laundry, cooking, etc. However, we are not in a position to afford this with the added expense of tuition. I am so sad about this!!! Obviously, we knew this day would come but I'm surprised how upset I am. Our nanny has been with us since our first was 10 weeks old and feels like family. We don't have family in town and she has helped us tremendously. We are going to see if she would be interested in continuing to work a half day and help her find another family who may need her for the am only....but not feeling entirely hopeful about that. She needs the income and may not want this option nor are we guaranteed to find a perfect set up should she want to stay on PT. I know we all need to do what works as our needs change but I'm so sad. I am dreading having this conversation with her. I know she is going to be so sad too not to mention anxious about losing her job. (though I have no doubt we can find another family as she is incredible!) Anyone else go through this? How did you negotiate the transition?
