[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I'm thinking best approach may just be to write her a check for the rest of this week and be done. It doesn't work for me to be left in limbo not knowing if she will show up to work the remaining days this week. New nanny can take over immediately (and is here today, saving my bacon as I have a major work project to do today).[/quote]

You need to pay her for next week as well.[/quote]

No, I don't "need" to pay her for next week if she's chosen not to come this week. I could decide to do so but it is by no means required.[/quote]

No you don't "need" to, but you should. If you had done this properly, she would have had the weekend to process this stab to the back. You didn't give her that time, and you are dealing with the consequences. She is trying to process while you still expect her at work with a smile. Sorry, you can't have everything you want exactly how you want it. It sounds like you've been really fortunate in this situation by finding exactly the care and language opportunity you wanted for your son. acknowledge that and try to be worthy of it and not be a shitty person toward someone who doesn't deserve what you've done to her. This is a learning opportunity for you as an employer in how to treat your employees well. This new nanny is likely very aware of the fact that she has rare qualities that you really really want. She has you by the balls, and what goes around tends to come around. Treat your old nanny with some dignity and compassion, and pray that all of this was worth it. [/quote]
