[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our nanny of 1 year is moving soon and it looks like there might be a period of time (at least a week, maybe a few weeks) when she has to leave her current place but the new place isn't ready.  She mentioned today that she might "go to a shelter."  I asked her about staying with friends or family but apparently that's not an option.  We like her lots but we're not in a position to have her stay with us, even for a limited amount of time.  We have a very small space, no guest room and I'm due soon with another baby after which we'll also have family in town.  I'm concerned about her not having a stable place to stay but not sure what, if anything, to do to help.[/quote]

I'm sure the nanny could find a residential hotel or cheap motel that she could stay at for 1-3 weeks if she really needed to. If she was planning out this move and saving for it, she could easily have saved a bit of extra money to allow for something like this to happen. I like that you considered putting her up, but understand it is not always feasible. If you could manage it financially, you could offer to perhaps have her work a few extra hours each week to allow her to save some money to help cover for a room during that time between places. Or she can also look for a temp sublet, or even do some house/pet sitting in exchange for a place to stay during that time. If the move is going to be in the summer, there will most likely be someone who could use help for a week or so while they go on vacation.[/quote]
