But why make your children “adjust” if you don’t have to?

I agree that OP should have a “come to Jesus” talk with her children’s nanny and exhaust all ideas before ripping the beloved nanny from her kids.

That said, if the nanny can’t change OP has no choice.

Because the nanny is there to make my life easier.

Oh, interesting. My nanny is there to make sure my kids are well cared for and have the childhood I want for them.

I am really happy to be here

Have a serious talk with her. Either she can be reliable or she can't. Outline what she needs to do to keep her job.

Make this talk her warning.

I would say try giving her the benefit of the doubt. This has been a tough year for many. I would say try to compassionate and empathetic. Have a serious talk with her. How long has she been with you? If it’s been 2+ years and this is the first time she’s behaving this way, I’d have a talk w her to ensure her future as your nanny. Of course like a PP, come with compassion and from a place of love and care. I really don’t understand how she could be taking advantage of you unless you’re paying her for all the time off she’s taking? I can see why you would relate it back to her being paid for 2 months and not working. Again I don’t see the correlation. I’m really shocked many comments are so cold hearted. Sometimes we go through rough patches. It’s part of life. Another note, she might need a therapist? Idk how you could approach that subject.

Man, I could have written this post myself. It sucks to hear others say she taking advantage of you (me), but maybe it’s the reality check I needed... since here I am taking yet another day off work because something new came up. I swear my nanny is one of the most unlucky people in the world.... or she’s taking advantage of me

Please have a Come to Jesus talk with her, immediately. I think her reaction will tell you a lot.

In all honesty, it sounds like your Nanny is perhaps “trying” to get herself fired??

She obviously is not taking her job seriously & she seems to have a plethora of different excuses to give you.
Maybe since she was paid for not working those two months, she is hoping that you will pay her for the days that she cannot make it.
Or perhaps being paid but not actually working made her a bit lazy.

Whatever the reason is - you need to find yourself a new Nanny.
It may be tough on the kids at first, but they will be okay.

This Nanny is causing you money + stress and she needs to go.

I wish you all the best if you do decide to replace her.

This. This is her way of extract herself. We’ve had housekeepers do the same. Some will keep it up just to get fired so they can file for unemployment.
