I assume you have a contract of employment?
It will tell you in that
Good luck

Depends on the situation. Do you have a contract of employment with the nanny? If you do, it would be clearly stated there. Do you live in an employment-at-will state (the vast majority are)? If you do and you do not have a contract, no notice is required by law, though it would be polite. The nanny can terminate her employment at any time for any reason.

You should have it written down in her employment contract how long the notice is. For some it is 4 weeks and in others I have heard of 3 months.
It depends on why you are giving her notice, if it is a mutual parting of the waves with no acrimony then I would say a week for each year. If it is an acrimonous decision then perhaps you can both agree to a short notice period.

hi, the law says 6 weeks would be minimum you can give her - she is entitled to 1 week for every full year she has completed with you, (unless agreed by mutual agreement) - she will be entitled to all holiday pay during this time as well; check out the Acas website - or call them 08457 47 47 47.
As for the person who said to watch you belongs - shame on you!!!!!!!??? this family have had this nanny for 6 years i am sure if she was going to take things it would have been before now!
hope this helps you!

If you have no contract stating this then its entirely up to you. You could decide how long it will take to get a replacement, but I think that would take some time. Two weeks is a fair notice.

Absent a contract, there's no notice required. Why do people think that others have to ensure that they aren't inconvienced? Sorry that it might put you in a bind, but that doesn't mean she has to help you out.

If you are in the UK, the notice period should be stated in the terms and conditions of employment. In the absence of T's and C's, then the statutory period is one month. See www.aca.gov.uk.
