Agree. Unless the family had a good reason to think the nanny was going to harm their children based on the way she gave notice or the reasons she gave for leaving, why would this situation occur?
This happened to me. I gave the family a months notice. When I found out I had received the position they happened to be on vacation and wouldn’t be returning for a week in a half but I wanted to notify my MB. So I emailed her so I wouldn’t have to lose a week of notice and time for them to start preparing. Db wasn’t on vacation with them. She called me and we spoke and she berated me with guilt trips. When they returned she took them to the grandparents and told me I was no longer needed and I could now prepare for my new job. I never got to see them again ever.
That parent is evil. Sheer evil.
What kind of evil person would do that?

Why? Are you taking advantage of your nanny?
No, because I'm tired you resurrecting old threads to start parent-nanny battles. Find a new hobby.
Old or new, the subject matter is importsnt. Nannies do need some sort of representation so that they are treated fairly.
Exactly.
Ms. Exactly bumping up old, tired threads.

Not every family has had a nanny before. Perhaps this is the first child. Perhaps grandma watched the child for the first few months until the child became more mobile. Perhaps they went the daycare route until the child got sick too often or they were pregnant with the second. Perhaps they were a great employer, but either don’t have contact information for the first nanny or had to fire the nanny due to nanny’s issues. Perhaps they had APs, who may or may not be reachable.
Every family is different. It depends on the family as to whether they have references.
Yawn

If they refuse, they need to suffer the consequences:
Little or no notice
I'd get their agreement notarized with BOTH parents, so they can be legally held accountable.
Notarization doesn't mean what you think it means. It doesn't make anything legally enforceable. It just verifies the identity of the signatory.
You're quite the naysayer.
Any useful advice?
Np- the advice is, agreements are enforceable. Notarizing unnecessary. A reasonable Clause would be eg, if nanny gives notice and parents don't want her to work it, they have to pay in lieu of it.
Would the labor board enforce it, or would the nanny have to hire her own attorney? Thank you.
Never answered....
All these things continue on.
DCUM is not google. If PP really wanted to know, they should have been more than capable of finding the information on their own.

The nanny gave the family the agreed upon notice.
And the MB fired the nanny in a huff.

Nannies are tired of people like you taking advantage of them. Think about it.
