Me again! Thinking about my newly employed nanny so can no longer have the job!

[ziopin]

Hi,

I'm thinking about telling the new nanny that she can't have the job now!

I'd verbally offered her the job (not signed contracts yet) and she has accepted it, but that was before I found out she was getting married, and needed 2 1/2 weeks off term time - but hadn't told me at the interview.

I have been trying to sort out something for these weeks - but have been uable to fill this time (I don't really want a temp nanny and my Mum is away during these weeks)

Will it be ok if I withdraw the offer?

Sorry this title makes no bloody sense. Please see the new one!

OK, I can see both sides of this.

Had you stipulated that holidays must be taken in school holidays, or something similar?

Can you and your dp/h take leave to cover her absence, and might she agree to unpaid leave?

What a shame given it was only two weeks Was there something else that bothered you about her?
Why wouldn't you hire a temp nanny? Unless of course you have to pay the nanny too.

I remember reading your original thread.

Has something else happened that has led you to this decision? I remember that you were really pleased with her until she mentioned that she was needing some time off for her honeymoon. Did you speak to her about it? Did you tell her that she would have to have time off for that unpaid as it was outside of school holidays?

It seems a shame that you haven't been able to sort it. Why are you against a temp nanny? Most temp nannies are great at slotting in quickly. They are used to adjusting quickly to different childrens and families needs.

It's not that I dont like her, I really do!

But, I can't find suitable childcare for that time, and really don't want to get a temp nanny in to cover for her.

Also, she cannot drive, which in itself is a pain, because she will have to catch the bus four times a day to collect/drop off the dc's. Not ideal?

All in all I think it's more hassle than it's worth! [bulsh]
