[quote=Anonymous]Our nanny, who has been working with our family since August,  gave two weeks notice on Monday. Her reasons are that she found another job that pays more and she feels we are not strict enough with our two year old (28 month old) daughter. For instance, the nanny said she will not play/engage with my daughter until my daughter says good morning -- even though my daughter will have just woken up 5 minutes prior; my daughter always gives her a kiss goodbye and waves goodbye. The nanny thinks it is disrespectful when my daughter doesn't want to share her toys with the nanny. In short, the nanny has many wonderful strengths, but it is not a good fit anyway. We were actually considering replacing her, at which time we were planning on giving her time to find a new family and paying out her two weeks of vacation. However, now that she is the one who ended it (and was pretty self righteous about it all), I am not feeling the need to be nearly as generous.

Amazingly, we just found a new nanny today who wants to/can start on Monday. It works well for me because I can fairly easily take off Thanksgiving week and transition her in. Our current nanny gets Federal holidays off with pay and we were additionally planning on giving her Friday off with pay.

My question is, do we have to pay her for next week? Any other thoughts or guidance is most welcome. Thank you. [/quote]
