OP, I am sorry for your situation. I would like to offer some compassion and understanding for what has happened. I would like to believe that your expressed anger is somewhat a bit as if, your husband came home, and suddenly announced he found another family, and will soon be moving out. The initial disbelief and shock can be traumatizing, not only for your family, but on a different level, for the nanny as well, even though she initiated the upcoming change.

I therefore ask you to reconsider how to proceed. This is vital not only for you and your family, but for the nanny. Even thorough you have every right to acknowledge your feelings of betrayal, it's crucial to keep at the forefront what the nanny has given to your family, from the bottom of her heart.

Some here wlll never understand that the intimate fulltime homecare of a stranger's child, is one of the most profound gifts one can give. Most mothers dream of a nanny who will love and care for the child "as her own". Many nannies indeed fill that "maternal" role during the parents' daily absence from their children. Unfortunately, many nannies do not, for whatever reason. Please work through the disappointment and heartache. Your child needs that of you.

Please begin to pave a new path with the nanny, one of appreciation and mutual respect. I sincerely hope that you will allow and support an ongoing relationship with the nanny, after she is no longer your fulltime caregiver. Your child needs that, and so does the nanny. Maybe write her a letter expressing your heart-felt best wishes for her happiness, and how you hope to still be an important part of each other's lives, in whatever capacity possible. I believe she will be eternally grateful for that gift from you. I wish you all the best.
