[quote=Anonymous]My nanny originally started out working on a trial basis and it seemed to be working out really well so we hired her to work 40 hours per week in February 2016.  However, things seem to have steadily gone downhill and at this point we are at a loss on what to do because it is right before Christmas.

1.  Nanny has moved 4-5 times since we hired her
2.  Nanny does not have car insurance which I found out when her car was stolen and she had to get a ride to work from her boyfriend.  Her second car broke down so she missed a day because she couldn't come.  She borrowed a car, but had to give it back which I found out when she was 15 minutes late to work because she has to walk to/from my house.
3.  Nanny has missed 7 days of work since starting and has been late several times.  (My husband has had to come home in the middle of work shift so I could leave for work)
4.  Nanny couldn't afford to pay for a cell phone and it was cut off so my husband and I added her to our cell phone plan and gave her a cell phone to use while employed to ensure that she has communication with us while she is at home with my daughters.
5.  After having multiple discussions about my twins sleeping too much during the day, she continued to allow them to sleep at inappropriate times.  (i.e. naps at 5pm, sleeping 3-4 hours in the morning after I leave for the day)
5.  I have had several check cashing places contact me because on payday she goes there to cash her paycheck (which I'll add I'm not happy about multiple check cashing places having my personal information).
6.  Yesterday, in a 2 hour time span in the morning, she was on the phone for an hour while working.
7.  Today while working, she spent all day texting back and forth with her boyfriend over 100 text messages.

I'm thinking about firing her, but feel bad because it is before Christmas and I know that she is having a rough time right now.  What advice do you guys have?[/quote]
