[quote=Anonymous]While I am sure you love her and she sounds wonderful, it sounds to me like your needs have changed and it is time for a new nanny, one who can better suit your boy's needs better.

If she is leaving in January, that would be the perfect excuse to use to let her go as one PP stated. It IS true that another 3 mos. in two years is a lot of time off. So I would totally use that as an excuse to let her go. Most jobs wouldn't keep someone on payroll who took that much time off.

Even if she doesn't leave in January, just let her know that since your boy's needs have changed as they have gotten older, you really need someone who can drive them around. Since she does not drive, then you need to look into hiring someone who does.

To lessen the sting, offer to write her an excellent letter of recommendation as well as be an active reference for her. Offer to refer her to any of your friends who have young children.

I know it isn't easy letting someone go considering how well she has treated your family. If it makes you feel better, you can also give her a parting bonus/gift.[/quote]
