What a sh*t day! Work sucked and then I got home to have my nanny tell me she is leaving us because she is going home to Australia. She has been with us since my dd was 4 months old (a year and a half) and she is like family. I'm really worried about finding someone else, but I'm most worried about my dd. She LOVES her nanny. How will she take it when the nanny leaves and she NEVER comes back. If she was staying in the UK, she could at least visit. I know children adjust, but I'm sitting here in tears thinking about how she's going to feel. She's too little to understand...
Ughh..must start search for replacement . I found our previous nanny on gumtree but not sure I can face the onslaught of useless replies again to find the one gold nugget. I'm so depressed. That being said we live in Central London in an attractive neighborhood so maybe lots of young, energetic, nannies willing to take on a 21 month old will apply (puts on brave face)....
