[quote=Anonymous]Is she live in? Why would she think you would pay for her gas to get to school?

It sounds like she thinks of herself more as a daughter than an employee ...

I agree that it's worth a sit-down, but you need to be up front about the fact that you are considering replacing her. If you are willing, you might also offer part time.

I had to have this discussion with a nanny who was missing a lot of work for various reasons. I gave her the option of continuing full time, but only for another month while we saw how it went, or switching to part time, and I would hire someone else, or she could, of course, leave and find a job that was a better fit.

She wanted to stay on full time. It went badly, and ultimately she switched to part time and I got a second part time nanny. There were some PITA aspects to having two part time nannies, but also some really good and useful aspects. If I had the time to manage employees more, I would probably prefer the two part time people, actually.[/quote]
