[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the future to avoid a conflict of interest, I would simply find future jobs on my own rather than from referrals. Because when things do not work out, they can be awkward as illustrated here.[/quote] The best nannies tend to get their job via referral. This is just a situation you have to learn to handle. Be professional, even overly generous, in your efforts to end things well and set them up to find a new nanny, but don't sacrifice your happiness just to avoid an awkward situation. The next time a family offers to refer you, be very clear on your expectations and what is important to you in a new position. For example if a family is going to refer me, I find a tactful way to let them know my current salary and benefit expectation because if its been a few years since I have worked for a family, my rates have likely increased.
