You are not a bad mom! I'm so sorry you have had this thrown in your way, but you're better off! You want someone who cares and loves your DD! I'm sure you can find someone soon! Good luck!!
Oh, I am so sorry. How selfish of her. I am sure you are feeling beyond overwhelmed. I am sure you will find a lovely person to fill her shoes. Thinking of you.
So sorry mamma this happened to you, it deft sucks. You are not doing anything wrong! It's just hard work to take care of a baby. Clearly not her thing and your DD deserves someone who will love taking care of her, in the end it is better she was honest with you so you can find a better fit! That's what I keep telling myself as my ILs just did this to us as well... so I feel your pain. GL in your search- check out care.com for sure!!
It is not your fault at all!! As someone previously stated she's obviously in the wrong field!! What the heck did she expect? She did your favor because you would not want a person like that watching your daughter anyway. Everything happens for reason and you will find someone that is a perfect fit for your whole family! I'm so sorry that happened to you!
E-hugs! I didn't read all the responses but I would not have her come back, if she is so stressed and overwhelmed I wouldn't want her taking care of my baby... AT ALL. I get it, babies can be a LOT of work, but put LO in emergency daycare before you have your overwhelmed nanny watch her. It will all work out, so take a deep breath and find maybe a nanny agency in your area that screens the Nannies and will give you emergency care if this type of thing happens again or your nanny is sick etc. Good luck and keep us posted. PS NOT YOUR FAULT or LO's
Sounds very unprofessional to me. I think it reflects way more poorly on her as the nanny than on you as her mom. I bet DD is just a good judge of character. You're a great mom. Good luck in your search!

I agree with this. I know it puts you in a horrible position but I'd rather her quit than ignore a baby she finds overwhelming.
I'm so sorry this is happening to you! It is not your fault. What kind of nanny expects to watch and infant and not deal with fussiness? I know you are in a bind right now, but you don't want someone who is "overwhelmed" caring for your baby. You want someone who knows how to handle a baby and has patience.
Your LO is definitely better without someone like that watching them! Hang in there, you are a good mom and the right person is out there to be with your LO when you can't.
Sweety, the problem here is your 'nanny'. Not you. Not your baby. Be thankful that she knows her limitations and doesn't continue in a career she can't hack.
The nanny can't handle a fussy baby... WTF?!! I would say good riddance and try to find someone who actually doesn't mind doing the work for their pay... That's just my opinion tho
