Not sure if I am BU or not, but I am sure someone will tell me!
Our part-time nanny, who has been great and formed a really good bond with my two DSs (3.5y and 21mths), has just given her notice (after just over a year).
Difficult timing for us, as DC3 due in 7 weeks, and then both boys beginning a new pre-school in September. I was really counting on the continuity of our nanny to be a stabilising factor through all that.
Obviously that's my problem, not hers (she has decided she wants a full time job which is fair enough, though she did assure us when hired that she wanted this part-time role long term.) It's her right to look for another job and give us notice.
However, my beef is more with the nanny agency. The rep there has just rung me to get a reference for my nanny (for her new job) and to ask if we wanted them to find us a new one. Am I being unreasonable in thinking that I am their client, and they shouldn't be out there finding my nanny another job (while I am blithely unaware). They got a hefty great dollop of cash for finding me that nanny - now they're getting another dollop for passing her on to someone else, and want a third great dollop for finding me someone new.
Am I just being peevish because it's awkward for me? Or is this basically wrong?
