Fuck fuck fuck nanny has resigned

I know she absolutely has the right to resign but I’m so cross! It’s been such a difficult year. DD only has another 9 months until she starts school then nanny could look after as many babies as she wants to (she’s taken a job looking after a 5 month old).

I’m also really disappointed she resigned via WhatsApp rather than calling me. I can understand that she wanted to avoid having a potentially difficult conversation but that’s what being a grown up is like, surely?

It will be fine, we will go back to more nursery and wrap around but I just wanted to let of steam with people who know how much I feel left in the lurch! Plus the additional organisational burden will almost certainly fall to me - the nanny was most helpful to me rather than DH and relieved so much of that burden.

TBH if you feel entitled to berate her online, I'm suspect you're a pain to work for. I have no interest in the Nannies section but this appeared for all to see on active conversations.

I don't really know about nannies but surely she has to serve a notice period like any other job? I know that doesn't help much but it reads as though she's basically told you she won't be returning. Is that the case?
