Ways to end the care with your licensed nanny.

In most cases, the breach is classic. The child has grown and you no longer need a caregiver because he is in school or is old enough to be by himself. The contract will have been completed, more or less as expected.

In other cases, it is more complicated. Not all contracts end alike. There are unexpected breaches or termination for misconduct that may require the intervention of outsiders to manage certain conflicts.

When everything ends well with your caregiver.

They actually quite rare the cases when the termination goes wrong with a childcare professional. Mutual respect goes a long way!  

Contracts that end with the Ministry of Labour or Child Services.

And yes, it happens, a caregiver may go to the Employment Standards office or contact the Ministry of Labour if she feels you are being unlawful but know that as an employer, you also have the option.
Most cases end in dismissal. If as an employer (in the non-traditional sense), you have obligations, know that you also have rights.

Resignation of the childcare provider. How does it work?

You've just received the resignation letter from your childcare professional. You can't say you're thrilled but you have to address the steps to ending the agreement. But what are they?

You want to break the contract with your childcare provider.

Your child has just blown its sixth candle, you are not going to receive as much financial aid, you are obliged to break off the contract with your caregiver. What obligations do you have? Is it difficult to lay off a caregiver?

Your childcare provider was stripped of her license. 

This is the kind of situation that doesn't please anybody! Your childcare just received a notification of the suspension of her license. She might legally have the right to care for a certain number of children in her home, but you would prefer to work with a licensed caregiver.

Firing your childcare provider for serious misconduct.

This time it is too great, your nurse licensed crossed the line, you've talked to several friends and all agree that for the good of all the children, you must fire her for serious misconduct. Not that it pleases you, but you also fear that something bad could happen one day.

Letting your caregiver go during maternity leave.

Your caregiver has let you know she is pregnant and will be taking the whole year off following the baby's birth. You still need full-time care for your little one and know someone who lives considerably closer and comes highly recommended. You are not obligated to rehire her after her leave.
