[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Give her notice now, but make the severance contingent on her staying until the first week of December. If she was really good, you could assist her in finding a new job by posting on your neighborhood list serve or here.

Also, write her a recommendation letter and offer to be a reference.

Don't feel bad, OP. You're not a bad person. Things change and jobs end and your nanny will find a new job.[/quote]

I agree with this PP - tell her now, make payout contingent on staying until end date; if she leaves earlier it should be for a new job and you can reevaluate whether you still want to give severance, etc if she's left early and is already employed.

It is not selfish to end her employment. You're not doing it out of spite; you've had a change of circumstances. Try to do your best by her but don't feel guilty that the job needs to end. It's not your responsibility to protect someone else's feelings at the expense of your family's financial security. [/quote]
