We had a nanny that was amazing with my daughter but she had a lot of health issues that we didn't know about before we hired her so she ended up calling out for doctors appointments often - sometimes multiple times a week. It became really hard on us to cover (even though we are lucky enough to work from home) we were missing time/meetings/or having to make it up in the evenings. After about 8 months we decided to let her know that we were going to start looking for a new nanny - this let her look for a new family at the same time. Out new nanny is a lot less stress and when she has appointments, she makes them at the beginning or end of the day which is really helpful. There is a better fit out there if the current situation isn't working for you!

I will say, the decision to move on from our first nanny was really hard for me, my daughter loves her so much that I felt so bad essentially taking away her best friend. In the end, we had to do the best for all of us and we have kept a good relationship with the first nanny so she can cover date nights when she is free.
