[quote=Anonymous]MB here.  Do not say a word until you are pregnant, and beyond your first trimester (unless you need to take off from work for some reason.)

Then, before you talk to your employers, know what you think you plan/hope to do when your baby is born.  Do you want to go back to work?  For them?  Full-time or with modifications?  Would you want to bring your baby?  etc...

Then you sit down and talk to them.  You tell them what your ideal scenario is, allow that they may need to make some decisions that mean your ideal scenario isn't possible with this position, etc...  Then you let them discuss it.

In the best possible world you and your employers can work out an arrrangement that's a win-win for everyone.  But that's a very individualized circumstance and highly dependent on the people and situation involved.

In the meantime, just continue being a fantastic nanny and maintaining the best possible working relationship with your employers.

I would work with a proven, long-term, excellent nanny in ways I wouldn't work with someone of shorter tenure or whose performance was not so great.  All kinds of things are possible when the parents and nanny are a great team.

Good luck!
