[quote=Anonymous]MB here.  If the nanny wants full time work and you can't give it to her but your friend can, leaving is the only rational decision she can make.  You shouldn't be upset with her or feel that she has been disloyal.

You don't say when the friend would need the nanny to start.  If they have already reached an agreement but the start date is months away, I'm sure the nanny realizes that you might be upset about the move, so she doesn't want to jeopardize current employment by telling you or having the friend tell you months ahead of time.  It is also possible that the friend has not yet approached the nanny about FT work or has approached her but they have not agreed on terms, in which case nanny has nothing to tell you at this time.  When the time for her to make a move gets closer, I'm sure you will get a call from the friend.  Hopefully the friend cares enough about the friendship to give you a couple of months notice.  My guess is that she will be somewhat apologetic but explain that the nanny planned to leave for FT work anyway.

That said, I understand you being angry about hearing this from a third party.  I would call the friend, tell her what you heard, and ask if she is planning or hoping to hire your nanny.  Hopefully she will be honest with you.  Hopefully you will also be mature enough not to take your sense of betrayal out on the nanny.  She really hasn't done anything wrong by considering a position that better meets her needs.[/quote]
