[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - We obviously aren't telling anyone (her included) until it is a sure thing, but we didn't want to wait until just four weeks out because that feels like a lie of omission, we will surely need to tell the children before then, and she'll notice the efforts to pack up the house.  And it'd be nice to tell the neighbors with whom we are friendly, etc.

I guess I was hoping that since she'll have no problem finding another job, she'd stay because she is settled in with us, we'll give her a bonus, and she'll find  a job just as easily if she leaves right when we tell her versus when we actually move.  [/quote]

Just tell her when you know it is definite. My last family moved about an hours commute away. They told me four months in advance and I stayed with them up until the day they moved (no retention bonus necessary) because I loved the kids and my job. If your nanny is as great as you think she is, she will likely do the same. Most nannies are used to positions ending and are not going to leave at the drop of a hat when they find out things are changing. [/quote]
