Our nanny of 3.5 years left us in March for health reasons and returned to Eastern Europe. She's been our nanny since DD1 was 7 months old and they were very close. It was her third nanny job in the UK and she appeared to be close with her previous charges keeping in regular contact for birthday parties, Sunday lunches and occasionally taking them out/weekend proxy parenting. She really didn't want to leave and hoped to be back in the UK when her health was better.
Before she left, there were promises for regular Skype calls with DD1 [grandparents are overseas so it's a well known concept] until her return but dead silence since. We missed her on one skype call in the first few weeks, and I've emailed a few pics and updates which I've received a short note back on in the first month, but since then any messages and emails have been unanswered. It's out of character and a little concerning though I know she had an elderly and unwell grandparent so it's quite possible she is just v busy at home or has found a new job. If she's moved on and decided its too much hassle to maintain contact that's fine but I'm at a loss as to what to say to DD.
3 months on, DD1 is starting to really miss her and is anxious and quite obviously feeling rejected as to why there's been no contact.
What would you do? So far I'm working on the premise that her broadband/computer is broken and she lives v far away.
DD is almost 4, so thinks we just need to pop to the airport and go and see her for the afternoon so I am obviously being totally unreasonable insisting on computer chats only....
