[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are you being burned?  Sounds like she has given you 2 years of fabulous service and flexibility in exchange for good pay and flexibility on your end.  She is giving you 4 weeks of notice, which is extremely generous and is being flexible, at that.  You should be thanking your lucky stars.[/quote]

OP here.  Not sure where you got the "fabulous service and flexibility".  She is getting paid to do school work and NOT work...a lot.   Hence, my feelings of getting burned b/c she is taking a new nanny job when she had indicated she'd be with us for another year until youngest gets to school.[/quote]

You feel burned because she is quitting or because she did schoolwork, and you chose to pay a FT nanny for PT hours? Firstly, the 2 situations have nothing to do with each other. You're mad because you feel taken advantage of. Understandable to an extent, but recognize that you created that situation for yourself. You should be mad at yourself.

Now the second situation is about her quitting. She has every right do this, whenever she pleases, and she has done it as gracefully as can be expected. You have no right to be indignant because she found a better job. Maybe she could tell that you were bitter over the unused hours? It doesn't matter what her reasons are, she has a right to leave. Put on your big girl panties and get it together. [/quote]
