[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, have you communicated any of these concerns with your nanny?

I'm not sure what happened with your "missing" children, but it sounds like the nanny tried to (and succeeded in) handling the situation on her own. Why alarm the mother if the children were located safe and sound within ten minutes? It sounds like you just don't like this nanny. She's a bad fit for your family, and that's okay. It doesn't make her a bad nanny.[/quote]

Agree with this poster. These are mostly silly, and seem like all that really needs to happen is a conversation and a bit more management on your part. Maybe she's not "excellent" but it sounds like you're not exactly excelling as a boss either. Give her a system to work within, a routine. Address your expectations. It really doesn't sound like she deserves to be fired. If you insist that this is what you want, give her notice and a reference letter that discusses what you did appreciate about her. In the future you need to be clearer about your expectations and stop allowing small things to build up to the point that you'd fire someone over socks. [/quote]
