[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She told us right at the start of the second trimester, I think.  She presented a full plan when she told me and was extremely professional and thoughtful about the whole thing.  She made clear she had already thought through child care arrangements for afterwards.  She also made clear that she cared about my child and wanted to come back afterwards but would respect whatever we needed to do.

The only part that was really tough on us was when she was actually on leave and was not her fault at all.  It was pretty traumatic for my toddler who had a lot of baby jealousy issues (with babies generally), and we had a very difficult time with inconsistent interim care, which is why I added the caveat that I could see why families might let nannies go.  I do feel like those few months were definitely not in my child's best interest.

But beyond that, it's been good.  There were some inconveniences when she was pregnant, in terms of scheduling, etc., and some inconveniences when she returned because life with kids is like that.  But all in all, she's a terrific nanny and she's worth some inconveniences here and there.

Also, she's always approached her job in a thoughtful and professional way, so it was easy to believe she'd continue to do so after the baby arrived (as she has).[/quote]
So she came back after 8 weeks leave? Paid, not paid? She's still with your child? Who does her childcare?

She is still with my child.  I don't feel comfortable discussing the other details on a public forum but as I have said before, she's a wonderful nanny who we care very much about, and we worked with her as best we could (and she worked with us as best she could too).  [/quote]
