I think that it depends on her situation and yours. How much notice did she have? Has she found a new job yet? If she hasn't had much time to find a new job, and I could afford it, I would give 1-2 weeks pay. If she's had 2 months, or starts a new job immediately I would probably five $100. [ Reply | More

If you move the date up for a nanny's unemployment without much notice? I think it is fair to realize that you have a responsibility to your employees. But obviously, if it is going to be a real strain, then your nanny probably is aware of it and not expecting it. [ Reply | More

I don't know then, go with your gut. She probably declined sporadic hours because she need steady income. [ Reply | More

I would feel obligated to go with the previous agreement and pay her through the next week, but obviously, it is up to you. I don't think that you're going to be an evil person if you decide to do less. [ Reply | More
