[quote=Anonymous]MB here, who is going through a very similar thing with the nanny who just left us after several years.

I think it's your responsibility to find another family to fill out the share (if that's under consideration.)

It is NOT your job to find your nanny a new position.  You should not be "frantically" doing anything.  Tell her where you have posted the information thus far, write her a lovely reference letter in which you make it clear that you are happy to be contacted as a reference, and tell her to let you know if you can be of any other support.

Then let it go.  You are not wholly responsible for her, not even partially.

If you are able you can give her some severance which will help her financially, but with all the notice she is being given I don't think that's critical.  It is something tangible you can do though.  You can also let her know how to pursue unemployment in Maryland (which, by the way, is pretty rigorous in their requirements in terms of expecting people to be actively job searching.)[/quote]
