[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d give one opportunity to be upfront and honest by mentioning the frequent absences. If she doesn’t tell you I would start looking for another nanny sooner rather than later to minimize the disruption to your child. You can then give her whatever severance she is entitled to.

And get a good lawyer, because firing someone for being pregnant is discrimination.  [/quote]

This is disingenuous, because most of the discrimination laws have various exceptions relative to actual ability to do the job, and the size of the employing business.

If she's pregnant and needs a lot of of off time and is likely going to need more time in off than agreed upon, it will cause a hardship to the employer. Yes, OP should be generous, kind, understanding, etc. But if there is a high probability of the nanny not being able to be a nanny anymore, it's not a reasonable expectation for the employer to take issue with it or start planning contingencies

Current ability to do their job, not projecting months into the future that they'll have a baby.

She’s currently lied to her employer. Sounds like a performance issue. [/quote]
