[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP whose nanny gave notice along with with a bad lie. We sent her on her way the next day and released her from her notice period (she claimed she "had" to stop working ASAP). We have had two AMAZING nannies give notice before and we were truly sad to see them go. We paid them through their notice periods, gave them parting gifts, and encouraged future visits. One returned to work for us again between finishing her coursework and starting her career (she was an older student). The other still visits and sends texts.

Our most recent nanny had a history of dishonesty, avoiding work, and being all around kind of crappy. We did not choose to compensate her for her half-effort at being "professional". Lying on your way out is not professional. Don't expect to be rewarded for it. [/quote]

Can you stop using your one anecdote as though it is fact? You've dealt with this issue one time, many of us nannies deal with it every.single.time we give notice. Stop trying to tell us that this doesn't happen to good nannies. Stop trying to tell us that if it happens, that it is somehow our fault. Maybe your nanny did suck, but then you should have fired her, not screwed her after she gave you notice. Like it or not, in your story, she was the professional and you were not. If an employee gives notice, you let them work it out, or you pay through their notice. This is basic business etiquette.[/quote]
