[quote=Anonymous]My family has been in a nanny share for the past two years. We are the family who started the share and found the nanny who has been on our long-term care for over two years. We were notified over email that the other family will be entering a share with a neighbor and that they will retain the nanny. I don't know whether to be heart broken for my son, who has only known this nanny and other family, or livid that rather than discuss in person, the other family and nanny would let me know via email. The other family's family situation is changing and they are hoping to place their LO in p/t preschool. While my son is on the wait list for other day cares, I have given up spots that I was offered due to what I viewed as a good long-term share. More than anything, I am hurt that the nanny would work for a stranger she has never met over us. I don't know if the nanny is truly unsophisticated to realize the lack of professionalism or integrity in taking a job for the other MB and a stranger and not letting us know in person. To be honest, I don't know if I trust our LO with either of these people. While we are happy for the other family and understand the convenience factor of next-door neighbor share, I am very hurt as Friday I picked up LO and there was an opportunity to discuss in person. I did call the nanny and tell her how disappointed I was to find out that the only caregiver LO has never known would not have the professionalism or integrity to inform me in person. It was even more disheartening to hear that the nanny felt like the family was instructing her that she will continue with them and that she would not accept any ownership for basically pushing us out of the share. I am at a loss. We pay our nanny extremely well and I felt like she was part of our family. While the other family was very welcoming to our LO, I got the feeling they never clicked with us on a friendship level. I have been up all night researching very limited child care options for our son. We can't afford preschool and a nanny and I'm not feeling like I want to enter another share. LO is #15 on work child care center list and other places I'd feel happy with him attending either have a wait list they do not disclose or are in the process of the lottery for next year. What would you do? My wife is more practical and said to view this as a positive but I feel screwed over. I think it sucks that both feel like this was an okay move.[/quote]
