[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did you hire her? How old is your kid? What will happen in an emergency? My previous nanny was also an immigrant and not with great English (not Spanish speaking) but she was a very competent and responsible person. Managed all her business, signed a contract with us. Paid taxes, purchased a house while employed with us. Etc. 
a nanny has to be very responsible, reliable and aware in addition to all the other childcare specific qualifications. [/quote]

Op here. She’s very loving and as an employee has been reliable in that she’s never late, is proactive in meeting the kids needs, etc.

She pays her taxes and we have a contract too.

She just doesn’t listen, doesn’t follow through, seems to operate in the moment and ignores things until they become crisis level. She just doesn’t grasp the significance of what she’s doing because she’s not from here. Example: I’m not sure she understands the concept of credit and/or that if she simply ignores these hospital bills, they might garnish her wages. Guaranteed when that happens she will think it’s something I’m doing with her pay too.[/quote]
