[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will be changing the balance with the other family regardless.  She may not be able to find another part- time job that only needs those same hours, so she may need to quit them either way.  Furthermore, she may prefer one full-time job to two part-time ones, so this may be a change she would choose--if she has to find a new job, why not a full-time job?

In any case, it is not within your ability to manage her relationship with them.  Tell her the facts: you will need a full-time caregiver for X hours at Y rate starting on Z date.  You would love for that person to be her, but if not, you will have to let her go.  I agree that having one new nanny and having consistency day-to-day will be better forthe kids than having the old nanny and a new person share the job.[/quote]

I'm the pp who initially suggested asking your current nanny to go full time and this was exactly my train of thought. Things may need to change with the other family any ways as your nanny searches for a new job. At least if its you you can try and offer them a lot of notice and flexibility through the transition.

How many kids do you have all together, is a nanny share for those hours feasible? Perhaps even just in the short term while they try and find someone new, if it will assuage your guilt a bit. [/quote]
