[quote=Anonymous]Hoping to get some good advice on the best way to handle this situation.  We hired a nanny in June for DD and another child in a share.  She seems to love the kids and they like her which was the most important thing for us.  However, we're expecting a baby in the late spring and for various reasons don't think this nanny will be a good long term fit for our family once we have an infant.  She doesn't do housework, even folding DD's laundry or making meals, she's fairly forgetful and there have been some communication issues.  So far we've just been living with it because the kids seem to like her and that's what matters.  With an infant though, I know we'll need more actual help in terms of some of the chores (not heavy housework, just tasks related to the baby) and it will be more important to us that she can understand and follow instructions with the baby than with our 3 year-old.  I know she's not open to any housework because she was very clear about that as were her references, and the communication issues I think are just a style thing so I'm not sure we can do much on that front either.  I'm pretty sold on transitioning but would like to know what would be the best way to do it?  The other family doesn't want to keep her on either so it's not an option for her to go with them.
