[quote=Anonymous]Yikes! If you weren't going to be staying home for maternity leave, I wouldn't suggest this, but since you will be home w/this nanny in the future, then I guess you have no other option but to let her go.

Doing so will not be easy since it seems she is a competent nanny all around. She is doing what she is told to do and she is loving and engaged toward your son. So she may be a bit confused when you let her go.

On the other hand, since you will be home those five mos., you will need to have someone who you can work alongside w/ and this woman and you have absolutely no chemistry whatsoever. You are at one end of the spectrum and she is at the other end I am afraid.

Be tactful and just say it is just a personality issue. Stress to her that you both just seem to have different needs at this point and that you think it would be in both parties best interest to move on. Let her know you appreciated the two months she cared for your son and that he will miss her a lot. Offer to be a reference for her and if possible, perhaps offer up a small gesture, perhaps a gift card? This will make your decision feel less guilty.

While I think she is a little too personal for a nanny OP, I strongly suggest you view your future nanny in a little more personal light.
I do not view a family nanny as a true "member of the family," however since they play such an important part of your child's life, I think they should be treated as more than a business person.
