[quote=Anonymous]OP it will be next to impossible for your nanny to find someone willing to pay $950 a week for an illegal nanny. Its hard for a legal nanny with a good education and experience to find $950 a week as a starting salary. In this area there are fewer people that can hire an illegal nanny and many illegal nannies/former au pairs overstaying visas competing for this jobs. She may find a $500 a week job but she will be able to compete for positions that pay anywhere near what she is making now.

You have to face this sometime as you can't keep employing her forever when you don't need her. Some things that you can do is to give her a longer notice period but not too long so she doesn't start looking. You could give her two months but be prepared to keep her on for an extra month if after two months she doesn't find anything. You could arrange to hire her for evening baby sittings, occasional overnight or weekend sitting if you travel without kids, or if she only find a part time job hire her for a once a week housecleaning job.

You could also offer to let her take a CPR class during her downtime (sounds like she has a lot since the kids are in school) and infant classes. [/quote]
