Very angry with ex nanny

She has worked with us for 4 years. Last year my husband and I separated and so she worked in between mine and ex's home.
I told her a few weeks ago that I was moving house. She doesn't drive so I asked about her thoughts on it all and what we should do. She mentioned extra time and expenses and then said she wished I had told her sooner so she could plan for the new school term. She then said she could only now work for my ex.
I told my child that she had chosen not to work for me anymore. Last night I got a text from her saying she had corrected my son and told him the reason why was because I wasn't paying extra time and costs. I told her I was not happy with this as at no point had I said I wouldn't pay. She said 'You never mentioned that you would pay them once. If you wanted me to work for you still, that's the first thing you would have done. I feel hurt and disappointed at how this has been handled.'

I am very angry. What should I say in return?

Apologize for the misunderstanding and explain to her what you are willing to pay her ... if she chooses to nanny for you too. To me, in the long run, it would be better to be on good terms with her than to be right. If that makes sense?

It's tricky 🙂
