[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our new nanny committed to a year with our family but didn’t tell us she was pregnant. But we figured out that she is due to her phone calls discussing it in our presence, and it sounds like she’s high risk with a history of preterm birth. As far as we can tell she got pregnant just after we hired her. I think she is in the second tri early, but she  hasn’t told us yet. I’m not sure how to handle this, and am a little upset since she committed to a year and clearly that is not going to happen, and she’s not coming out and telling us (but has made up lots of doctors appointments for family members). She won’t qualify for leave and I don’t think she will want to return after,  the baby comes. We finally have gotten into a routine with her and it’s frustrating that will be upended in just a few more months....[/quote]
Um, since when is it advisable for a woman to tell her employer so early about her pregnancy???[/quote]

If she speaks on the phone in front of them she's already told them[/quote]

+1. I’d let her go now with severance, telling her that her frequent family appointments are too difficult for you to work around in your job. Don’t bring up her pregnancy. [/quote]
