[quote=Anonymous]OP here - 13:40 and PP who said the same thing, I don't think "I got screwed so I'm going to screw someone else" is a good rationale or a reasonable thing to do as an adult.  Of course it's not the "end of the world" but yes, it has meant a lot of disruption for our family and my children specifically over the past three weeks while we struggled to accommodate the sudden leave and hold the job open for her.  If she wanted to leave for whatever reason, I would have rather she told us upfront and given us some reasonable notice.  I would certainly do the same if roles were reversed and I've never been one to end the relationship suddenly (although I know of course there are families that do).  I always see nannies wanting to be treated like professionals and that's how I approach the job but this type of behavior is anything but.  I've had some pretty bad jobs myself and I've never quit over text or left my employer completely in the lurch.  I think what's most upsetting is that she didn't even say goodbye to the kids who have been asking about her.  To answer another PP, no my kids aren't hellions who send people running for the hills.  They're kids of course so they have their moments like anyone but our previous nannies and any babysitters we have always comment on how sweet and generally pleasant they are.  I'm not sure how to screen for this type of thing in the future since it's never been an issue but from this board it sounds like it's not so uncommon.      [/quote]
