I think op was just looking for legal advice, not a lesson on ethics. Despite what YOU would do, op needs to protect herself and her family from legal consequences nanny could invoke. 30 days notice and a grand for her to go quietly. Op is at the disadvantage here. The laws are set up to protect the tenant, which the nanny legally became when she moved into op's house. Sure, she could fire her and kick her out tonight. And that might go just fine - but if nanny knows the law and is desperate or vindictive, she could make things difficult for op.

how are you all so sure that the nanny has the same rights of a tenant? I frankly am not so sure about that, and it would not seem reasonable either. a tenant enters into a contract that has as the only object the lease of an apt/house for the tenant to live in. clearly the tenant needs protection so it is not thrown into the street in a day. a live in nanny is an employee who is offered room and board as part of her job contract. I cannot believe that an employer may be forced to keep an employee under his/her roof for a month or more, especially in case the employee is fired for cause like in this case.[/quote]

This is correct. Unless the nanny has a separate contract as a tenant, she is a border who has room and board as part of her contract. [/quote]
