[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at it this way, OP. If you lose your job, then you're going to have to fire your nanny anyway.

If you truly can't risk having to take time off of work, then that's what it is. You have to act in the best interests of your family, and presumably that includes you remaining employed. Of course things happen and no one can guarantee no last-minute call-outs, but this nanny, however good she might be, just has a lot going on in her life right now, and that just may make her ill-suited for your family.

I don't think there's anything wrong with having one last conversation. But be brutally honest and ask her to be as well. Tell her that if you have to miss work because she calls out at the last minute, you could lose your job, and then she'll lose hers. Ask her if she can commit to coming in each day, no matter what, until the agency can find a replacement, or if, because of what's going on in her life right now, this just isn't the best job for her. Definitely ask her if she has a plan for dealing with all these family emergencies once she moves with you and, if so, why she can't put that plan into effect now.

Good luck.[/quote]

Great advice PP. I wish you luck OP. As a nanny, I think it's in the best interest of your family to find a new nanny. [/quote]
