[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think 11:28 has a good solution. But I do think you should give the nanny a chance to see if she has any ideas. Also, can you fire her for complications with a pregnancy?[/quote]

She isn't being fired because she is pregnant. She is being fired because she can't do her job. Big difference. Its incredibly inappropriate that the nanny is doing nothing to offer solutions and expects that her problem is her employer's problem. This type of attitude makes others less likely to trust pregnant women.

I agree with sitting down and telling her that you need a nanny who can take the kids to activities and lift a child if its necessary/emergency. She may come to the conclusion that this isn't the fit on her own. [/quote]

But do you have to make reasonable accommodations for the nanny?  Please forgive my ignorance as I've not had to deal with a pregnant nanny but I have a fairly physical job and we have to make reasonable accommodations if someone is injured or has complications from pregnancy before we can fire them.  If there are no possible accommodations, only then can they be let go.  (although in all my years here, that has never happened)[/quote]
