[quote=doodlebug]I would be constructive with feedback. Let her know what didn't work for YOU but also be honest and say that's your issue and probably wouldn't bother someone else. Don't give stupid non answers like "not a good fit" or "we wish you all the best." Those mean nothing and are cheap platitudes that make you feel better but still leave her feeling hurt and confused about what happened.

When giving references be honest about what YOU didn't like but don't say anything that would sabotage her chances for finding another job. Communication is a 2 way street and no one person is ever totally at fault. It's 50/50 100% of the time. Play up her strengths and say I think she might do great with a family who.... but for me xyz wasn't working.

So yes, give her a concrete reason but be kind about it. Actually make an effort, a REAL effort to help her find a job and don't ruin any chances she has because YOU didn't like this or that about her. You'll scare off someone else who might not have an issue with the thing that bugs you. [/quote]
