[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any possibility she might suffer a loss of income due to your move?[/quote]

We will continue to pay her until she finds a new position, but we can't guarantee that a new gig (she'd like to continue working in our current neighborhood) will pay the same rate we do.[/quote]

Can't you just continue to pay her the difference between her new salary and old salary for a year or two until she gets some raises?[/quote]

That's ridiculous. Why should OP pay for a nanny she's not employing? OP, jobs end all the time for a lot of reasons and if your nanny is a professional, she will understand this and do what everyone else does when a job ends...they find a new one. She may want to stay in the neighborhood, but that might not be possible if there isn't a job available. This isn't your fault or responsibility. I think it is unwise to keep paying her until she finds another job. This doesn't give her an incentive to work very hard securing new employment and can just end up with you paying someone to sit around until the perfect job falls in her lap. It isn't your responsibility to find her the perfect job, or guarantee she will make as much (or more) money in a new job. Finding a new job is her responsibility. That said, it is very kind of you to provide assistance to her in finding a new job by helping her network and recommending her through list servs and such.

What I do think is your responsibility is to give her as much notice as possible (at least three weeks), provide her with a good reference, and fair severance. If she finds new work before you move, you do risk losing her, but she needs to look after herself and her family, so be supportive in her transition.[/quote]
