[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I'm afraid we have to disagree. Too many nannies have been royally burnt upon giving notice. It's true. Some of us have learned the hard way. So unfortunate. But at least most of us do learn, and we now take prudent measures to protect ourselves from toddler-temper-tantrum moms.[/quote]

I have never ended a job on bad terms and have always been able to count on references from former employers, but I still include this in my contract (I get a new written reference every 4 months). I have seen too many nanny friends have their trust in their employers backfire to waffle on this point. This is unlike any other job, as you say, because it is so very personal - as any MB will be able to attest to. You're letting someone into your home, trusting them to care for and love your children, and the unexpected loss of a nanny elicits more of an emotional response than the resignation of your secretary. Some parents can get very out of sorts quite unexpectedly, and nannies are wise to do all they can to keep up-to-date references available should they need them.[/quote]
