[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think notice is especially important in this situation, because you all basically had an understanding about when the position would end, and she is likely making plans around that understanding. It would be a truly shitty thing to do to give a nanny that, in your own words, you really like and care about, a minimal amount of notice when in her mind she has months to find a new job and she has remained committed to you in spite of that fact.

I say this as a nanny with the same understanding with my current family. My job will end in September when the youngest heads to full time school. I am committed to sticking it out with them until then, and I have turned down positions that would require me to start before then. I would be incensed if they changed the plans and tossed me aside without considering my own needs. Give as much notice as you can reasonably afford OP. [/quote]

OP here and I agree though I didn't realize it exactly until you wrote it. FWIW when I first wrote my post I was going to ask if 4 weeks was enough and then decided to make it more open ended. Honestly we are also considering just telling her to start looking and she is free to go whenever she finds something but can stay with us though late August if she has not found something. [/quote]

Sounds like the perfect plan. Good luck to you.[/quote]
