[quote=Anonymous]OP here-- thanks so much for all your (varying) advice. It is so helpful to have different experiences and perspectives.

On reflection, it will be extremely difficult for us to do another nanny search when we get back. This is a very crazy/stressful time professionally and I want to make sure that I (1) have everything in order when we return because I can't really take off and (2) spend my non-working time with the kids! She is such a wonderful nanny, I really want to find someway to make this work. I also realize that she needs to pay her bills!

I guess my nightmare scenario is that we find some way to pay her (ask my parents to help?) and that she finds another job anyway...then I am out $6500 and don't have a nanny. My dream situation is that we magically find some family who needs a nanny for a month or two while they are on a daycare list or something. Not sure how agencies work, but that is a helpful thought...maybe we could pay some fees associated with signing up with an agency? Though she is the type who values long term relationships with families, so not sure this will be her thing. It's worth asking her, I guess.

We are talking about 8 months from now...so I think I have some time to think about how to frame this conversation but still give her lots and lots of notice. Dreading this!!!!! [/quote]
