Clean break was the right call. She's now badgering me to come back Friday for her W-2. No!

Just make it a clean break OP. YOu can find other backup sitters. You have fired her - you don't want her back in your house. Keep it clean.

I told her we were lettting her go and she asked if she could still come in Thursday and Friday. This was over text messages because of her sore throat.

My question is, should I let her? I don't thinks she would be so very contagious but do not really want to risk it. I also do not want to have DC have a meltdown, which happens when she initially came in yesterday but stayed back because she was sick. What would you do?





You are very sick people,you don't have any respect for your poor nanny,I can't believe exist people like you on this planet...??


You think I should have let her work with strep throat? You do realize that letting her go was planned prior to her getting sick, correct?

If your DC isn't old enough to ask about her, then don't let her come back and use the illness as an excuse. The goodbye/closure would be far more crucial if this was an older child who could fully process the absence of the nanny.

Thank you. Her direct deposit has already gone through so there is no outstanding money or the like. I feel like I should let her say goodbye but I do think that would be worse him DC and that's where my allegiance needs to lie.

MB here and I wouldn't have her come back. If things were bad enough that you decided to fire her then you want to be done with it cleanly. I would never leave my children in the care of someone after having fired them. Whether or not I trusted her at some point I have now fired her so I would expect some level of ill will and I don't want my child in the middle of that.

Tell her you're sorry but you don't think it's a good idea. (The strep actually gives you a nice easy out for that.)

Mail her or direct deposit any monies and severance and change your locks.

Move on cleanly - it's the best way. A

Well aren't you special! You must have magical powers because how in the world can you be sure you hire someone who doesn't get sick.
So stupid.

Last week things blew up with her, and this week you are giving her her walking papers.

And on top of that she is not feeling so hot.

If I were in your shoes OP, I wouldn't want someone in her shoes watching my child. I just wouldn't for many reasons.

Just let her go now and look for a new nanny for the new year.

It would be so uncomfortable now having her back and I wouldn't want her to be in the company of my child because who knows how many mixed feelings she may inside.

Wow, jump on me for poor choice of words. She's the first. Calm down.

Seriously OP? Please re-read what you wrote and try to tell yourself you are anything but a self involved ass. Your nanny is lucky to be rid of you.

+1 You're a wicked person, op. Don't tell us how many nannies your poor kid has already had.
