[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, considering that her job performance has gone down the drain the past year, I honestly don't think your nanny deserves any type of severance package.

Why reward someone who didn't do a good job for the last year??[/quote]

It's not about rewarding her, it's about basic human decency. OP isn't giving notice, she is terminating, effective immediately. Two weeks severance wouldn't be a reward, it would be standard practice. Not giving notice or severance is a punishment that this nanny doesn't deserve.

Yes, her performance isn't as good as it once was, but she has at least been reliable. This is said a lot and for good reason: think about if the situation were reversed, and it was the nanny who was ending the relationship. Wouldn't you want those last two weeks of care to give you a chance to find a new childcare solution? Nanny may well need those two weeks of pay to pay rent, and it often takes a lot more than two weeks to secure a new job (especially when your most recent employer of the past 2.5 years is unlikely to provide a good reference).
