[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here, and I never quite understand these cases.  If, as an MB, I am in a bad position at work because m nanny took four days off, then aren't i in acworse position if I suddenly fire her?  Why wouldn't you give the notice agreed to?  
Unless maybe the person they hired to cover for you was looking for a full time job, and they liked her better.  [/quote]

A couple of reasons:
1) They are fed up, and would rather take the time off at their own discretion, arrange for backup care, and find someone new, than worry about whether she's going to call out at the last minute again. If they aren't sure she's going to be able to come in tomorrow, then what's the point?
2) If she is still under the minimum amount of time employed to qualify for unemployment, if they let her go, they are not on the hook for unemployment.
3) At a certain point, it starts to look like you are tolerating a set of circumstances because you have let it go on so long, and the nanny has a point if months later she is let go for reasons that weren't a problem for a very long time.
4) Someone they interviewed previously is still available, and they want to make a switch before she's employed elsewhere.
5) Sooner is better in terms of the child. Let him/her get attached to someone new now rather than 6 months from now.[/quote]
