[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks. How about firing her. She is a great housekeeper but we need childcare. Should I offer to help find her other positions? The problem is that I caught her in a few lies, so I really just want her out of my house. [/quote]

there are other threads about how to fire a nanny, you can find them easily. in short, don't drag things on and be firm but respectful. wait for the end of the day, seat the nanny down and tell them that it is not working for your family and that you need to move on. take keys away, let her say hi to kids, and take her to the door. after only three weeks I do not think you own her anything, but if you want to give her a severance (one week or whatever you think is fine or agreed with her) do it. I would not let her work for you anymore after you fire her, and definitely would not take upon myself to find her a new job (but you can tell her that you will be very happy to write good references as a house keeper since you think she is very good at that, and you can post on your local listserve to see if somebody needs a house keeper).  it is not your fault if it is not working, so just cut it and move on, there is no way to make it easier or less painful.[/quote]
