[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an MB I hope you can stay for the sake of the children. Assuming you like the children and the parents can still pay you, I would make sure you have a contract that requires sufficient notice and some period of guaranteed pay in case financial issues arise. Otherwise, the best thing you can do is to continue to provide good care for the kids and be open with the parents if you see that the separation is having a negative impact on the children. Hopefully both parents will have the children's best interest in mind throughout the process but if they don't, I would hope you as your regular caregiver don't abandon them. I understand the instinct to look out for yourself but these are children. If other moms and nannies on this board are suggesting that the right thing to do is to abandon the kids during this rough stressful time, then I hope these people think harder about what they would do. [/quote] As a long time nanny, I do love this caring advice. However, i'v been through my share of on the job family break-ups. It's the most horrible thing. One dad told me that I was the only stable part of his child's life because everything else was a complete mess. If there's at least one parent who cares about the child and nanny, it's more the exception rather than the rule. Unfortunately. [/quote]
