[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:08, how would you respond to the nanny who needs to leave before her hoped for tenure is finished (standard 2 wks notice)?[/quote]

Depends on the reason why, I suppose.  I've never had it happen.  If it were because of a medical emergency or something like that, which is outside the nanny's control, then I assume I would do the exact same things as long as I could do so truthfully.  In other words, if she is leaving suddenly because of a reason outside of her control, but the only way she could get another job is if I lied about that, then I would not lie to the other family.  Again, it has never happened so if you gave a concrete example that would be helpful.[/quote]

Can't follow your answer, so let's make it simple. She's leaving you because she wants to live in another state closer to her relatives. What sort of written reference letter are you giving her?[/quote]

I am the poster you are responding to.  Of course in that situation I would write her a good reference.  The other poster's share example isn't relevant for my purposes because I have never been in a share, so I don't even understand what she is talking about.

One example I can think of where I wouldn't is let's say the nanny lost her drivers license for DUI or something.  If I wrote a recommendation letter, it would have to mention that she can't drive.  I couldn't write a glowing reference about everything she did for us (including driving) if I thought she would then try to get a job that included driving with someone else who did not know she lost her license.  I would at least have to mention she can't drive.  So the nanny may not want that letter.

But none of these things have ever happened to me.  I have never had a nanny quit.[/quote]
