[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should be the bigger person and give a severence of two weeks pay. I would say a month if you were parting on good terms. Though your previous posts don't make much sense. She comes just 15 minutes prior to picking up your kids, yet you complain that she isn't vacuum and dusting during her kid free time. Your posts don't add up. [/quote]

Some days she starts at 8:00.  Some days 11:30.  The days she starts at 8:00 she has hours without kids.  The days she is scheduled to start at 11:30 she consistently late.

She has nickel and dimed us like crazy and expects OT payment regardless of whether she's worked 40 hours/wk.  If she asks to go home two hours early one day but stays 15 min late the next, she expects 15 min OT payment AND payment for the time she requested off, because we could have said no, which means she was [i]available[/i] to work but we didn't need her.  So the idea of giving her severance for being a relatively crappy nanny makes me insane.  I would plan to pay her the vacation time she would have accrued if with us for the year, but not a lot extra.  She's made clear to me on more than one occasion that it's no big deal if she doesn't work for us, she can just go sub the next day.[/quote]
