[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a good way to separate w/out losing it emotionally is for you and your nanny to not necessarily see this as an ultimate "Good-bye."

I usually use this technique because I honestly hate "Good-byes." Nothing depresses me more.

Ask her if she would be interested in doing some date night occasional babysitting for you off and on in the future. This will allow her to still see the kids and this way she will still play a part in their lives so that this won't be the last time you will have to see her.[/quote]

+1 Pretty much every family I've parted ways from has approached it this way. Of course, it doesn't always work out to see them often, or even sometimes really keep in touch at all, but the idea that they will see old nanny again will help ease the transition to your new nanny.[/quote]

+2  I don't know how close you are to nanny and your husband, but if she's one of those part of the family nannies you can have her over with her husband for   dinner or invite her to the birthday parties, and to see the new baby.

As for the kids allow them to express their feelings and acknowledge they may be sad.

Understand that it may take sometime for them to warm up to the new nanny. Be supportive of the new nanny and realize she will do things differently from your former nanny and that  is okay.[/quote]
