It is with regret that I write this letter to notify you that starting tomorrow, January 8, 2021, you are no longer serve us as a nanny for John and June. You have worked with us for almost 2 years. Along this time, we trusted that you would be a nice nanny for our children according to your agency’s recommendation. Sadly, it is far from our expectations.

We saw you love our children sincerely. You help them completing their school homework and take them from school. The sad thing is that we cannot close our eyes when we saw you mistreat our children for their refusal to have breakfast this morning. It shows that you put aside our parenting style.

On your first day, we have explained some rules that you signed in a document. The document clearly stated that you are not allowed to do any kind of abusive or harmful activities to our children, John and June. On 2 occasions, you forced John to eat by pressing the spoon into his mouth until he cried. Then, you also shouted at June for refusing to take a nap afterschool, which made her became shocked.

For those reasons above, we have documented your bad behaviors on our CCTVs. Although you are diligent, we cannot tolerate the abusive issues towards the children. As stated in our contract, we will give you 3 weeks’ discontinuation pay. You are going to receive it as soon as you sign the waiver release form that we attached with this letter. I wish you will realize your behaviors and change them.

 

Sincerely,
