[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find 17:45 so funny.  Have to love how nannies here say "give me as much time as possible but if I find a new job before the leave date, I'm going to take it".  If it was a nanny family that did that, the nannies on here would be up in arms.  [/quote]

Nanny here, and I completely agree. Their responses are hypocritical. My advice, OP, would be to give as much notice as you can afford to give if she were to quit on the spot. Realistically that probably won't happen, but you never know how quickly she will get snatched up. If you absolutely can't afford to lose her before your last day, err on the side of severance rather than notice. Give her enough time to process the news and to say good bye. My advice to nannies would be the same, give as much notice as you can afford to be out of work, or if thats none or not much, do as much of the leg work as you can in finding your replacement and training them (in the past I have written a reference letter for families, an attractive job ad, a detailed write up of the routine and the kids, as well as a list of where everything new nanny would need to find is located) so that your nanny family has less to worry about. I think 4 weeks is a good amount of notice to shoot for, 2 weeks in less desirable situations. [/quote]
