[quote=Anonymous]I am sure that happens once in a while.  I just can't imagine that it happens as often as PPs make it sound.  Now I can believe, as other PPs have explained, that if the nanny has been doing a mediocre job because she has been checked out for a while and MB is also unhappy or also already looking for other care, then at that point the MB feels like scrambling for childcare is a better/safer option than a clearly unfocused nanny.  But if an otherwise terrific nanny gives her notice?  Sure a couple of vindictive MBs will fire on the spot but I really can't imagine it happens as often as PPs try to make it sound.

And to put this in perspective, when our last nanny gave her notice to leave for a job with a daycare five minutes away from her home (we were an hour commute for her each way), we were incredibly grateful that she was thoughtful enough to offer to stay a couple of weeks until we found a replacement.  We had already had a couple of conversations about how the commute was tough on her (and she had begun to come in late frequently, which she recognized was a problem) and we were not only happy she had found a better situation for herself but grateful that she gave us enough notice to allow us to do the same for ourselves.  When we found a new nanny we let her know and then we picked a mutually agreeable date for our old nanny's last day and our new nanny's first day.  I think it happens like this more often than not.[/quote]
