[quote=Anonymous]Starting a couple months ago, I hired a sitter to watch my daughter a couple times a week.  She actually is a professional nanny (sort of, she plans to do this for a few years before going back to school), but had been out of stable work for several months and was very happy to have a regular gig with us.  We like her, and believe the feeling is mutual, but there's no bridging the gap between the 12-15 hours/week we give her and the 40-50 hours/week that she wants and needs.  She watches DD in the morning and tells me that she is looking for an afternoon position, but she must be looking at full-time jobs and my guess is as soon as she finds one, she will drop us like a hot potato.  I can find a replacement for her pretty easily and I'm wondering whether I should go ahead and let her go (with notice) before she lets us go.  I feel kind of bad doing so knowing she has money troubles and given we have no major job performance issue, but I also don't want to be left in the lurch, scrambling to hire a replacement under pressure.  We only really need her until early fall (she knows this).  What is the best way of dealing with this? [/quote]
