[quote=Anonymous]OP, we had an absolutely wonderful nanny for our kids for their first 3+ years.  (Twins)

She was fantastic, loving, experienced, reliable, totally trustworthy, etc...  Really just terrific.

Until they started getting significantly more mobile and active.  She was turning 60 at the time and the combination of some slowing down (naturally) on her part, and their significantly increased need for activity, started being an issue.

We ended up having to let her go and we hired someone in her 20's.  We also helped our first nanny find another position with a 5 month old baby.

Everyone is infinitely happier now and our kids still have a great relationship with their first nanny.

It was tough to do but it was absolute the right thing for us AND for our nanny.  We probably should have done it at least 6 months earlier but hindsight is 20/20.

If you were hiring a nanny now for your current needs, would your current nanny fit the bill if she walked in the door?  Start there.  If the answer is no then do what you need to do for your family.  There are many ways you can make this as manageable as possible for your current nanny (especially financially) but your first and totally non-negotiable priority has to be your family's needs.

Good luck.[/quote]
