[quote=Anonymous]I went through this as well.  We had several conversations before I fired her.  And I wrote a reference stating all of her positive qualities and left out mention of anything else.  
It was almost exactly the same issues.  I think my previous nanny would be a really great nanny for someone who is looking for a companion for a small child, but doesn't really have a stressful job themselves and is able to take on all of the household tasks after work.  She was almost like my 2 and 5 year olds' best friend.  She took them out shopping, to playgrounds and museums and out to lunch, taught them all sorts of things, and they loved her.  But she was unprofessional, lazy with picking up after herself and the kids, and generally made [i]my[/i] life more difficult.  Several people who got my reference letter called and asked specific questions about professionalism and housekeeping after noticing the holes in the letter.  She is still looking for a job, and I hope she finds one that is a good fit for her.  I think she is going to have to ask for considerably less money though.
