I am disturbed by my child's nanny's behaviour.

I am a single mom, I live with my parents (my dad has cancer and is undergoing chemo/radiation/treatments etc.) and I felt so fortunate to find a nanny who lived just down the road. Seemed perfect, she has 5 children of her own and seemed responsible, stable, etc. It's a very stressful time for our family and right after the holiday, just before dad's big chemo and while I was extremely ill, the nanny quit without notice. She just quit. And she said it was for her own well being that she do this, but she would have had to have known that it was leading to this. Is it normal for me to feel angry and disappointed that she would quit without giving us any lead time to find daycare for my daughter, who is only 9 months old?
