[quote=Anonymous]I just went through this with my MB. I had initiated the conversation b/c I was curious what her thoughts were on how long they anticipated needing a f/t nanny. (I've been with them 3 1/2 years...kids are entering 1/2 day K this fall.)

We sat down to talk on Wednesday afternoon last week. I was floored when I discovered what her plans were (staying home for one year). It was not something I saw coming. Best case scenario I will finish out the calendar year with them. If things change sooner they will give me 3-4 months notice. I am free to start looking when I feel the time is right, and can move on if the right opportunity presents itself before they are ready. I won't though b/c I won't put the kids through more transitions than absolutely necessary.

Having the conversation mid-day/week was rough. I was in a bit of a fog the rest of the afternoon. I ended up not working the next day due to flooding in the area, so in a way I was fortunate to have a full day to process things before going back to work Friday. I would suggest setting aside time on a Friday afternoon (kids occupied out of the house if possible) so that she can leave and have the weekend to process things.

Things are fine between MB and myself. It's bit just over a week since I got the unexpected news. I've settled into it and plan to enjoy the remainder of my time with them. I also know that they will provide an amazing reference when I am ready to begin searching.

Good luck![/quote]
