[quote=Anonymous]I can imagine that she might not like those ages, but if everything really was going fine, she would have said "hey - just so you know, I feel most comfort / happiness / joy working with infants or ten year olds, so when baby is 1, I will want to move on. We can make a transition plan to accommodate that for both of us" Or, at some point when she did not like the job and was looking, she would have said "I want to be honest that .... is not working for me. I am going to start looking for something else and want you to have time to do the same." Our nanny decided to go back to college and gave us three months notice and was flexible with end date so we could find someone and not have a time clock.

I do think something happened or you are a difficult person with changes. It is telling that your interaction after 3 years was not "oh my gosh. We are going to miss you so much. The boys have thrived under your care." But instead was "our old contact stipulated that you should give 30 days" It sounds like you refer to the "contract" or letter of the employment agreement a lot - because her response was "I did not sign anything" I can not imagine either of our nannies saying that. Ever.

I think you have either been more difficult or intractable than you realized or became that way over the last little bit and she knew that giving you a month would mean lots of job creep, comments, and working her for every minute owed. And she was not interested in that. [/quote]
