[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They told me there needs have changed when i asked why so suddenly. i asked if they were going for daycare and my mb just said they were looking into other childcare options. they are not being clear on the reason and we don't communicate threw email so i will try to get more answers via text.[/quote]

OP, I wouldn't press them - it won't change their minds and might just make things uncomfortable in the time you have left, and potentially damage whatever relationship you might want to preserve for reference purposes.   "Our needs have changed" could simply be them trying not to say difficult things - they might actually think this is kinder than the full truth.  (And maybe it is!)

It sounds to me like there is more to the story and for whatever reason they didn't feel you were a good fit, so when you asked for a raise it gave them a reason to deal with something they were already considering.  It may be unfair or crummy (though we can't tell without more information) but even if it is the reality doesn't change for you if you make it contentious.

You should be able to file for unemployment but beyond that I don't see a scenario for "winning" anything.  Nannies are at will employees so can be let go without cause, and it sounds like they gave you a couple of weeks notice so that, along with your relatively short tenure with them, would also be taken into consideration if you were file any kind of legal action.
