[quote=Anonymous]We are going to let our nanny go.  Her contract (1 year) is up this month and it is not a good fit.  She hasn't done anything terrible -- it's more just the sum of some small things that make her not right for our family (and us for her).

I'm looking for any recommendations on how best to do this. Should we tell her on a Friday and pay her severance then, making that her last day?  Or let her know that we won't need her back after her vacation (which begins mid-August, thereby giving her a month+ to find new work)?  If we did the latter, we would not provide severance, as we would still pay her through her vacation which takes her to the 2nd week of September.

Also, what kind of details would you provide her about why?  She is older and sensitive and I'm kind of inclined to tell her that my mom will be taking care of the kids just so that she isn't personally wounded, but I don't know if that's just a cop out on my end. She is very bonded with our kids and I'd like to make this as least hurtful as possible for her.

Any advice is welcome.
