[quote=Anonymous]Our beloved nanny of two years is taking 3months leave for family reasons.  She is a real part of our lives (especially our toddler son's) and truly I'm devastated. She is very reasonable, saying she knows her job might not be available when she returns, but honestly I don't want anybody else. She's amazing with our son, who she has cared for since he was 2 months old. We now have a 3-month-old, and I worry how this additional transition will affect the toddler. He's crazy about her. She took a month off when my mom was here when the baby was born (by mutual agreement, I did not ditch her for a month, she took her pto plus more for a family summer vacation which worked great for everyone), and the toddler asked for her every day and followed her around like a puppy dog for 2weeks after she came back.

Sorry to ramble, but the point is, I'm trying to find someone in the interim, but understandably it's hard to find someone for only 3 months. It could become longer, depending on our nanny's family situation, but probably not. Any advice on how to do this in a way that's fair to all parties would be much appreciated.
