[quote=Anonymous]I have to think that all these folks saying "who takes a one week job?" And "the nanny did nothing wrong" are just not experienced or professional nannies.

Lots of people take one week jobs and give references for them: between jobs, wanting to bring in extra money during a vacation week, etc.  It's not SO impossible to find a temp nanny that you should just take what you can get and be thankful.  Some nannies actually work exclusively as temps because they enjoy the flexibility of commanding their own schedule 100%--I did this for a while when my kids were young.

As for doing nothing wrong, the nanny was LATE on her first day, was unable to get a newborn to nap at all during an entire day, was carrying the baby around half-naked because ...reasons?  I guess? and she was bouncing an infant with reflux, which is a major problem.  No parent should overlook behavior that is going to cause their child immediate physical pain, and the sleep deprivation is going to make it very hard for the infant to adjust to daycare next week.

If you can pay for the whole week, that would be great, but she is being fired for cause IMO, and as such gets no "severance."  OP, try again next week when you put your baby in a permanent situation--and FFS, vet your daycare provider better than you did the nanny.  Have they worked with reflux before?  What is their plan for getting him to nap?  [/quote]
