[quote=Anonymous]I employed a part time nanny, steadily for 1.5 years . We adored her, thought she adored us, and are completely shocked and livid that she sent a text message without any explanation saying she was done . She had been at our home that day and seemed perfectly fine to my husband and I. The text was sent 1 hour after she left our home .  it was kind of a cryptic text , saying she was sorry for short notice but gave no reason except " something happened" and she was an emotional wreck . It could be interpreted as something happened in her personal life or something happened at our home . I immediately called Her and left a voicemail with my concern for her and asking for clarity on what we did, if anything. No response , just a brief text saying " I can't work anymore ."
Fwiw, she is 20 and has classes on opposite days and I happily rearranged my work schedule around Her classes so she could continue working next semester for us ( pick classes early November where she goes for next term). I had just given Her $100 for her birthday , paid a sick day I did not have to per our contract . I feel really hurt and used. Not a mention of my children in her text. My kids are too young for any feedback on what happened ( 2 and 3)
Is this normal ? I know I need to just let it go , she will not respond, but I am still reeling over this . [/quote]
