[quote=Anonymous]We've had our nanny, "Sue", for close to a year. Ever since she started it has been a so-so fit. For a long while I figured she was just getting up to speed with our family or getting comfortable in the role, but she continues to be perpetually clueless about little stuff (and sometimes big stuff). She's nice, she works hard to be responsible, she's definitely reliable. However, she just can't really do the job the way we'd like it to be done. It's not a matter of training - it's more a matter of good judgment and common sense just not quite being where they need to be.

There is not one big incident that we could cite as a reason to let her go; more like a series of little stuff that cumulatively leads us to recognize she's not one of the better nannies we've had. (Maybe we were spoiled with two excellent nannies where we lived before.) Any advice on how to let her go? We would be letting her go for cause - she's not performing the way she's supposed to be performing - but it's all just little stuff. That little stuff builds up into a pile of frustration, irritation, and extra work for us, though, so we need to make a change.

Would appreciate advice![/quote]
