I know how you feel...just last fall my live-in Nanny decided to go back to her country.  I had her for 3 years and all of the sudden I don't know what to do. I work from home, and I would've been miserable if I didn't have her then.  The good part is that she left when my kids are not so needy anymore like they were as small infants.

It's a change of lifestyle, but just hang in there...and keep looking, you may find someone as wonderful.
