[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is she home, behind the closed door? Tell her to come out and have a work day, and she gets a day off later in the week. Does she know you're sick? I would seriously FIRE an au pair who let me take care of a 3 year old while I was sick as a dog. What kind of work ethic does someone like that have anyway?

Knock on the door. Be her boss. Tell her you need her to work today because you're sick.[/quote]

I’d also send her a specific email detailing you are such as a dog and need her to work from now until this evening (specify a time). Put in the email that these are her hours for this week and spell it out. You need to begin a paper trail bc this one isn’t going to work out. Give her specifics for the rest of the day - eg play in the yard for the next 2 hours or whatever. Since you likely haven’t shown her all the intricacies of the house yet, tell her you’ll order dinner and it will arrive at x time and bring it in. Get pizza or something easy. [/quote]
