What's the score with nannies, attending interviews and taking their charge with them, whilst they are still employed by you? We have come to the mutually acceptable agreement with our nanny that she is to leave us at the end of this month. My husband will be stepping out of his job in the next 6 months but we don't know exactly when, and we told our nanny this, to be fair and to keep her in the loop with our plans. She then gave us two week's notice that she was leaving (her contract says four) and we said "fine" - and will muddle through with temp nannies etc.. The DH job thing is a bit unforeseen and is a complete change in direction for us. To be clear, the nanny decided to leave us so that she can get a long-term, secure position for herself, rather than stay with us and wait for us to give her notice. She's worked with us for less than a year, BTW, and DS is 10 months old.
She's got two weeks left with us, then, and I have found out that yesterday she drove 20 miles for an interview at another family's house, unknown to us, and then took our DS out for lunch (we pay for the lunch). She should have been at play group. What do you reckon?
