[quote=Anonymous]We have a nanny who I think is truly wonderful.  When we hired her, our kids were ages 6 and 3 and we knew from the start that this was a position that would last about 2 years, and then our youngest would start K and we would not need a FT nanny anymore.

So, we're now 6-7 months out from the end.  We need to have a conversation about exactly when and how this will happen; and also, about whether we might keep her on for a few weeks after school starts, help her find a new position, etc, etc.

For those who have BTDT from either side--nanny or employer--I would really appreciate thoughts about how to do this right.  I suspect she would have no trouble finding something new on her own (she is legal to work, bilingual, drives, CPR certified, and has about a decade of rock-solid experience and references) but I would want to make sure she has a good position lined up before she leaves.

Our nanny is one of the most pleasant and easygoing people I've ever worked with so my suspicion is that whatever we say she'll smile and go along with, whether it's exactly what she wants or not--so I also don't want her to feel like we're pushing her into a new job by, for example, "setting her up" with a friend or neighbor.

What is the best way to go about this?    [/quote]
