to think that she 'is trying to push it?'

My nanny knows we are leaving the area, and has known ever since we interviewed her as we said we could only offer a year contract.

Lately she has taken time off sick, been disrespectful about me infront of my husband and two LO and now has demanded that I discipline my children for their behaviour during transitions. Which is actually not too bad but they do get clingy when I come home and are fine again when she leaves. They don't 'love' her but then she is a very practical nanny and she is firm.

Then I came home and my eldest said that the nanny had said that I 'was making choices that were hurting him.' I can only assume that this was in reference to our leaving the area. I know that we should not always believe everything but it's such an adult sentence that it has given me cause for concern.

Am I being oversensitive? I am actually scared to confront her in case she leaves - we need to keep working and it's only a few months until we go.

WWYD?

Sit down and write all your grievances down, then go through with her each item on your list. If things don't improve give her a formal written warning. Still no joy, then sack her. You can get an agency nanny at short notice if necessary. Costs more but may be worth it for peace of mind with your LO before the move.
