[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell her 4-6 weeks out and have backup care ready in case she goes and gets another job that starts immediately, not then.

[b]Tell her you will need less hours because you will be home. You can discuss those cut back hours[/b] and babysitting, but also help her (via neighborhood listserv and as a reference) find a full time job if that is her preference.

Start with a positive, tell her the change coming next month, end with a positive.[/quote]

She doesn't need her at all on a regular basis, other than occasional babysitting.  Saying something like that (counting on her having to go elsewhere for a full time job) is not direct communication.  It's lame, don't do it.  It's not saying what is really going on, trying to "break it easy".  I just get offended when people do that with me, when they aren't direct.  Just tell her how much you value her, and think she's great.  Then say you thought about it and decided to stay home.  It's going to be really hard to let her go and you will do all you can to put the word out for her, and give her a great recommendation.  You still want her to babysit because you think she's so fabulous.[/quote]
