[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, congratulations on your new kiddo to be, that's very exciting!

Second, I'm sorry that happened to you, but unfortunately that's the way it often is. It's understandable if it means securing their new nanny. Also, some parents are not comfortable having someone watch their child who has put in their notice. From your post, it doesn't sound like this is a situation where they would have cause to worry, but I'm just putting it out there. IMHO, they should have given you a severance, but that may not have been in their budget. [/quote]

Interesting. Is it also understandable in the reverse? Most parents flip shit when their nanny does this.[/quote]

I'm 10:57, and I'm also a nanny. I was given 2 weeks notice by my employers once, as MB's work situation had changed, she could no longer WAH, and couldn't afford to pay for the new hours. She was very understanding when I told them I would need to end our arrangement a week early, as the new family that wanted to hire me needed me ASAP. She wished the other family could wait a week, but she realized that she was the one who changed the situation, and it was more important for me to begin my new job than to stay with her for a few more days. This is not the case for everyone, but that was my experience.

Similarly, I've given notice before and was let go earlier than initially agreed upon because the new nanny needed to start immediately. Fortunately, MB and DB gave me severance, so I was fine financially. I understood that it was business, not personal. [/quote]
