[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would anyone refuse?[/quote]

Because I will write one reference letter at the end of employment.  I put a lot of thought into them.  They sometimes take two to three hours to write.  I am not going to do that every three or six months.

If a nanny is leaving us on good terms, I go to bat for that nanny.  I post about her on our neighborhood listserv and on DC Urban Moms and talk to any interested new family who wants to talk to me about her.  It's a lot of effort.  I not only go to bat for the nanny, but also her compensation package.  Once a new prospective family called and asked why we paid what they thought was market for Bethesda, and I said the nanny had the salary history to justify it and that they simply were not going to be able to hire her for what they were proposing, which was at least $6/hour less.

No nanny has ever quit our job.  We have fired some.  I am not going to prepare for a contingency that has never happened - that someone voluntarily leaves us wihout it being a mutual decision.[/quote]
