[quote=Anonymous]I haven't experienced this yet, but I would not fire a nanny for getting pregnant.  I would not be able to manage through a 3 month maternity leave (& it would definitely be unpaid as most of mine was). I would have to find someone new because I have to work to pay for child care.

If it was a nanny with [i]long-term[/i] relationship (more than 3 years of employment) and a normal pregnancy (no bedrest, etc), I would figure out how to manage through 6 weeks with a temp.

However, I don't know if I would want a nanny who brings her child to my home (& I definitely would feel cheated if I was paying the same as before), and I would be very uncomfortable taking a mom from her child to watch mine.

I can see where people might make accommodations for a very beloved nanny, but realistically, a nanny who brings her child to work is going to have her attention split and it will affect the quality of care, plus with two young children, the chance of illness is greater, etc.  [/quote]
