[quote=Anonymous]This is a tough one, OP. I have been a nanny in the past, and now employ a nanny. As a former nanny, I cannot imagine doing what your nanny is. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon. I've heard too many stories like this where, in the end, the nanny does not return, so I would personally be very uncomfortable with how this has all gone down. Only you can weigh whether is it worth keeping her despite having to find childcare for 5 1/2 weeks. I know very few people in the working world who can take a 4 week vacation, let alone almost 6 weeks. If it were me, I think I would put feelers out and if I found a truly stellar nanny with perfect references, I might consider hiring her. 4-6 weeks is enough time for your children to have established new routines and developed a relationship with a new caregiver (which they'll have to do anyway since you will need back-up care).[/quote]
