[quote=Anonymous]THis is a question for employers.....

We have had a new nanny for a few months (less than 4).  She is fine, not terrible but certainly not great.  We have had communication issues - she demanded extra $$ soon after starting, in retrospect we needed to be far more explicit about what extras we would cover in addition to salary, so we caved and paid the extra.  The money isn't really the issue, she never ever responds to telephone calls inquiring about my DC, even when asked she will text a response.  I know very little about how my DC is doing - she keeps a log for me but it is just the bare basics.  When we ask her direct questions we get very curse responses, not unfriendly, just nothing much.  She has requested three mornings off already for personal reasons.  For what we are paying her (more than the market standard), we just want someone who is warmer, more direct, who shares with us how our DC's day went and who we enjoy having around.  So, I want to let her go.  She hasn't worked for us very long and I don't see any reason to pay her severance.  Is there anything I should keep in mind (legal or otherwise) about how to let her go?  Thanks.[/quote]
