[quote=Anonymous]MB here. Can your replacement start soon? Can you afford some additional outlay? If the answer to both is yes then I would let your current nanny know right away, let her stop working right away, pay her the 3 weeks of severance plus vacation, and have your new person start. If I had misgivings about a nanny and was planning to fire him/her I wouldn't want her back in the house caring for my kids once I let her know. I would make it a clean stop. A total of 5 weeks paid (3 severance plus two vacation) is very generous for a 9 month tenure ans should give her some cushion to find something else. That gives your current nanny some time before the family obligation to start a search, or to change her plans to focus on the search. And it gives you immediate peace of mind (hopefully). You should also think through how you will handle a reference for her and whether there is a level of reference you are comfortable providing that can be of use to her.[/quote]
