[quote=Anonymous]MB here -- we haven't made the switch to daycare, but we've moved a couple of times (military), so had a similar need for coverage until a certain date.

The short answer is that there is no way to be a decent person and GUARANTEE that she'll stay until the day daycare starts in September. Even the best-intentioned nanny might leave to start a new job that is going to last for possibly years if she finds one that can't wait.

The longer answer is, though, that 2-3 months is a lot of notice and time for her to look for a new job, and if you can offer her a bonus if she stays until the last day, that might encourage her to do so. I would plan to look into alternatives if she leaves early. I uses MetroParentRelief for a few weeks before our last move.

If she does leave early, don't think badly of her. She needs to make sure she has an income coming in for the foreseeable future, not just until September. No matter how much she likes working for you and loves your child, if the right job needs her in August, she will go.[/quote]
