[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't give her anything or even a day off. Try not to get too personal with your nanny. I get that she's taking care of your child but you need to keep things as professional as possible. I've told my story here once before but I gave my nanny 6 weeks maternity leave (full pay) plus she went to all her appointments during work hours (full pay - I would wfh those days), let her bring her new baby to work with her (same full pay) and then she quit on me less than a month later. She was so grateful during her pregnancy and promised me she would stay for at least another year, but no. Never again.[/quote]

Thousands of women do thr same thing to their employees every year.[/quote]

PP here. What I'm saying is I think it's best to keep things at an employer employee level. Since I'm a woman and had a baby 2 years prior, I knew how hard and tiring it was being pregnant and being a first time mom. I wanted to help out my then nanny as much as I could and I got burned. It was a very expensive and time consuming lesson learned.[/quote]

As a small employer, believe me, putting up with pregnant women is a major PITA.  Luckily I have under 20 employees and can fire them when they start taking off too much time and sleep on the job.[/quote]
