[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm, OP here. I am talking about an elderly person rather than a nanny, not sure how much difference that should make but no one is home (like in your case) to cover anything. I do get the burnout. [b]My mother doesn't have unlimited means and a huge income like perhaps some folks on this board.[/b] I am trying to be reasonable while recognizing her limited ability to pay double caregivers.[/quote] Nice snide comment while asking for advice. It's helpful that other posters know exactly what kind of person we are dealing with here. Reliable caregivers are hard to find. Is she calling out sick at a rate that makes her unreliable? Then by all means, fire her. If she's very reliable but is SICK, then yes you need to pay her. Your mother needs her more than she needs this job, because she could easily get another job tomorrow.[/quote]
