[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would split the difference and give her two weeks pay as severance.

I would appreciate the one month's notice and not want to burn her for showing that consideration, but I might not be able to swallow paying for the whole month.  Kind of depends on your overall relationship w/ her though, future contact, etc...[/quote]

And if a nanny decides she can't swallow giving any notice? You guys just don't get it. You can't have it both ways. If you want your nanny to give you as much notice as she can, you should honor it, be it to allow her to work through the notice period, or pay through it. If you can't honor the notice, don't expect to receive it again in the future. Nannies talk. Your new nanny will find out what happened and if/when the time comes again, your new nanny won't be so considerate. [/quote]

A MB here and I agree with this. She is part time and presumably she has already worked some of the notice, why don't you just pay her through that date and let her go now? Or you could have her work with the new person for a few days to help train her if you think she has knowledge, skills, work ethic that you want your new nanny to emulate.

I don't think you owe her severance beyond her notice at all, but surely you don't need to cut her off when she was apparently trying to be fair to you? Needing a full time income when you can only offer PT is not a crime, and looking for another job is not a crime, it seems to me she tried to do right by you and meet her own personal responsibilities.[/quote]
