[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.  I hear everyone about having the courtesy to let her go in person, but we have not secured the daycare spot yet.  we sign on a friday.  so, is it better to let her go by phone on friday on a 3-day weekend, or tell her on a monday when she returns?

If there is any chance the daycare spot might fall through (though it sounds like just a paper signing?) then call her after your meeting and tell her that you sincerely apologize for having to do this over the phone, but that you've been offered and accepted a daycare spot and that you feel it would be a better place for your child right now.  Let her know that you are offering a month of pay and that her last day with you will be X.  Tell her you have written her a great reference letter and that you're happy to be a reference for her for her job search (if you are).  You could ask if she'd like for you to post on a local mom's group or something that she is looking.  Close the conversation by saying you will talk again in person on Monday.  Doing so would be 100% fine and responsible.  Giving her a month of notice is awesome.

Are you starting your child at the daycare immediately?  If so, when will she get to say goodbye?[/quote]

We plan to start DD in daycare in about a month, and to give the nanny 1 months notice.

this is complicated.  lets just say it's not just DD's delays causing the change, so we are being very careful but at the same time feel badly for our nanny.  I hate to see anyone lose a job.[/quote]
