[quote=Anonymous]I just went through this OP. It is hard, but you need to do what is right for your child and your family. Here is my advice: - line up your backup childcare so that you don't have a gap in coverage - write the severance letter. It should be brief, factual, and address any severance, payout of vacation, return of household items (carseat, keys, etc...) necessary and effective date. - have someone with you when you have the conversation - have your child(ren) elsewhere so they're not hearing - be brief, be factual, don't get drawn into emotions or debates - be as generous as you are able (and see fit) with the severance - it will make it easier for her, and it will help you feel less badly if you know you are giving her a cushion of some sort. - trust your instincts. Your first, and most important, responsibility is to your child - so you are upholding that by changing nannies in this circumstance. Good luck.[/quote]
