This morning, my younger sister asked my help to look for a trusted nanny. It stressed me out because how can I find this someone. Currently, the nanny that she has is asking for the whole salary this year. Whoah! What's going on? She claimed that the money needs to be given to her niece in the province. If she got the money, she will not be going to leave my sister and continue to take good care of my baby nephew. 
Now, we still thinking about how to solve this dilemma. My mom proposed to go and be there with them. I am really overloaded with this stressor.
Does it sound emotional blackmailing?

@marguicha It will take more than 6 hours to travel there. It is adjacent to the capital of my country.

I agree. My mom will talk to this nanny later in the evening. We need to secure a black-and-white paper for her to agree upon. It is one of the dilemmas for having a family friend who took this job. I hope it will be settled after they talk to each other. We are trying to be broadminded and considering what makes the nanny thought about this matter.

It does not sound like good planning to give the whole salary in advance. I understand why your sister is cautious.

@allknowing We anticipate that expenses will be too high if replacing her with a new nanny.

That's really stressful considering the current situation. I hope you could find a new nanny who can be trusted.

I would just tell the nanny no and continue paying her like normal. If she doesn't like it, she can leave and your mom could take over the duties until a new nanny is found.
That situation sounds very strange. Is that the way things are normally done there? It isn't normal here.

Within this day, my younger sister and I decided not to give in to her nanny's demand. There is no doubt that my mom wanted to go there. I am quite concerned with the safety precautions. Moreover, she is planning to ask her younger sister to go with her.
Honestly, it is not acceptable with the nanny's idea. We are still thinking of other alternatives to how to handle this situation.

@Shavkat I wonder why the nanny would think you would give her a year's salary all at once? You live in a strange place with strange people.
