[quote=Anonymous]After firing the current nanny OP, I do not recommend leaving your child alone with her. The situation will be dicey at this point and it will just be less than ideal to fully trust she will do a good job knowing you have just canned her and her days are numbered. Suddenly being unemployed may also affect her demeanor and she will not be a very happy camper to put it mildly. And I do not think it is wise to look for another nanny behind her back, because if you do that, the new nanny will be told (I assume) and that may be a red flag for her because then how will she trust that you wouldn't do the same thing to her?

My suggestion is to fire the current nanny and pay her two weeks. You could always keep her on for two weeks, but that is your choice, as long as you are 100% sure your child and home will be okay. Then perhaps ask a neighbor, friend or family member to temporarily watch your child while you look for someone new. If you have no one, perhaps you can either contact an agency or you and your husband can take turns taking days off from your jobs.

Good luck.[/quote]
