[quote=Anonymous][quote]This is the OP... Wow, I didn't expect some of the reactions here, especially not being accused of modern slavery. I am genuinely coming from a good place and do not want to exploit anyone and never would. This nanny is very dear to me (and dare I say, we are to her as well).

I hadn't considered the option of bring her with us (because of the kids) until she asked me if she could come when I informed her we would be moving. While my initial reaction was no, I then started thinking whether I am really the one who should be making these decisions for her and am I discriminating against her if I don't give her the job. I know she will be very upset if we get someone else instead, but at the same time I have a hard time being the reason she would move away from her kids. I want to add that I have told her that if she doesn't come with us we want to pay for her kids' schooling so that she will still have a better financial situation back home regardless of whether she moves or not.[/quote]

Ignore the trolling or ignorant poster who keeps bringing up slavery. She has no idea what slavery is.

I think you have to respect your nanny's wishes and not make the decision for her. If she is wonderful and wants to move with you, then go ahead and do it. Discuss with her your concerns about her children if that would make you better understand her decision, and make sure you are prepared, emotionally, if she should change her mind after she gets her and wishes to return home.

That's all you can really do. GL.[/quote]
