[quote=Anonymous]She could be pregnant, she could be burned out, or it might be that the new share is not working well for your Nanny.

Did the share start right before or right after Nanny traveled?

How carefully did YOU interview the new new share family? How much time did Nanny have to interview them? Did Nanny get to share her thoughts on the new family, or was the decision to start the new share driven by your family's needs? If Nanny had told you the share was a bad fit, would you have searched for a different family?

What has the new family asked of the Nanny? Are their requests reasonably easy to achieve when merged with your own requests? Having unreasonable demands placed on you can sour you on a job no matter whether you flip burgers, manage a team in a fortune 500 company, or help 2 different families raise their children.

If I were you, I would evaluate the fit of the new family by talking to them about their expectations and yours, asking how they think things are going, etc. Then talk to your Nanny about how her experience is matching up with what you feel and what new family said. At that point it is time to discuss whether any issues can be resolved, or whether everyone will be happier if a new share family is found or a new Nanny is found.

Good luck![/quote]
