How do you know there are three lawyers in the thread? I did not see any disclosure of such.[/quote]

14:26 is clearly a lawyer.  I am another one, and I agree with her post.  19:13 and 6:20 (our resident comma lady) is clearly not qualified to opine on the matter.[/quote]
Oh great! Link us to some court cases where nannies have been forced, by a judge or jury, to uphold their end of an "enforceable contract". TIA

Sorry, PP, but that would require some research in legal databases, which would take more time than I'm prepared to invest in correcting your unfounded belief that nannies as a class are somehow exempt from the law that governs everyone else in the United States.  I will say that you are partially correct in one respect:  A nanny found liable for breaching her contract with an employer probably wouldn't be required to uphold her end of the agreement by staying on the job and doing what the contract required her to do.  This is called specific performance, and it is generally disfavored by courts.  Instead, the nanny is more likely to be ordered to pay monetary damages out of her savings and future earnings in order to reimburse the family for whatever extra burden they incurred as a result of her non-performance.

Good luck to you.[/quote]
