[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least pay her a good bonus,[b] she helped you when you needed [/b]and gave love and proper care to your child. Appreciate the nannies, caregivers.[/quote]

No. She didn't HELP.  She WORKED. And she got paid for that work.  If she'd been "helping when OP needed" it would have been free.  This is her JOB, not a FAVOR.[/quote]

+1. Nanny here. I agree that many nannies on this site are divas and expect the world to be handed to them. OP did nothing wrong. You enter a work agreement with a family, but life happens, and sometimes things change. When I had a amazing position end only 7 months into what both parties anticipated to be a longterm agreement, they gave me 6 weeks notice. I didn’t expect anything from them, but they did offer me 2 weeks extra pay if I started with them until they moved. If possible OP, I would give notice and hen offer her a little something for starting with you until she is no longer needed. While you don’t have to, many nannies will up and leave prematurely, and I feel it’s nice to reward loyalty. I know your family and many others would be left in a lerch if your nanny left you early and without childcare. [/quote]

Parent here.  You nailed it with loyalty.    We provided 8 weeks notice and bonus.[/quote]
