To her, you were a job. She may not view you as family, like you view her. Let her take the lead. Its a strange email but depending on her schedule demands with school, there may be a reason why she is struggling to find a job as a a nanny.

If I liked her a lot, I'd say "Thanks for letting us know the direction your life is taking. How exciting! We would love to take you out to dinner and hear all about your career when you're ready. Stay in touch!"
This is hard to do because we moved out-of-state.

OP here. For all the rude pps - she is a wonderful nanny with years of experience. My son is 3 now.
I don't think it's weird she emailed that to us. We told her to keep us updated about her life, and we are always doing the same by sharing stuff of my stuff, x-mas cards, etc. She's a part of our family now.

Thanks again for everything. You guys are still the best employers I have worked with as of yet. I hope you're all doing well!"
How old are your children now?

Np here. It does seem kind of strange though doesn't it? Why do they need to know this? Seems like she wants something but not sure what...

She was just being nice and letting you know you won't be receiving a 900th reference check call for her.

She is just updating you have on her life. She is no longer a nanny but that doesn't mean you will never hear from her again.

I think you + your husband definitely are reading too much into this too. I'm like you both, I tend to overthink EVERYTHING!
She sounds like she is simply giving you an update on her current life and updating you on the status quo.

I dont think it says that either. She is just letting you know she appreciates the time you have given on references but no one else should be calling you.

So depressing when so many parents care so little about their own children.

What part of it sounds like she doesn't want to keep in touch? She gave you an update on her life. She has stopped nannying, found a different job, won't be giving you out as a reference anymore, and hopes you are doing well. Feel free to respond.

Our former nanny sent this to us. We see her like and said we would stay in touch. My husband said it sounds like she is saying goodbye and doesn't want to continue keeping in touch? Does it sound like it or are we reading too much into it?
