[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have a contract that states four days a week.  You cannot (or should not) fire her if she refuses to change her contract. [/quote]

Um, yes you can "fire" her if she can't do five days a week. It wouldn't really be a firing, it would be a letting her go due to schedule conflicts. Nothing wrong with that as long as you give her the standard 2 weeks. Also, if you live in an "at will" state like VA then she can be let go for any reason. [/quote]

Your attitude will have nannies working in a revolving door.  This nanny has been with her charge for three years.  If not legally wrong, it is morally wrong to let a good nanny go because the employer’s schedule changed.  [/quote]

I've had the same nanny for 3 years now too. If my schedule changed and my nanny was not able to accommodate what am I supposed to do? Tell all my clients that pay me so that I can pay my nanny that I can't take them anymore due to my nanny's schedule? No, that's when I tell my nanny that I need to find someone else. [/quote]

That is really bad for the children.

OP, ask nanny if she can do it.  If she says no, get someone in to cover the extra day.  As an employer, this is the only fair thing to do.  [/quote]
