[quote=Anonymous]My DD's caregiver is part-time; she watches her daily a few hours per day so DD still spends the majority of her day with me.  The caregiver has been with DD for five months now.  Her engagement with us is temporary and supposed to end this fall and all I can say is not soon enough because she's been very unreliable during that time.  DD likes her, though, and I had expected that before she left us, they would have an opportunity to say goodbye, maybe even maintain some contact through occasional babysitting.  But something just happened (she was a no-show) and the circumstances are such that I am well within reason to fire her immediately and I no longer expect us to hire her again for occasional jobs.  I do think it's sad though that DD never got to say goodbye.  I'm probably agonizing over nothing, it's not like they had been together all that long or all that much (just a few hours per day not a whole day) and DD is only 2 and will forget her.  Should I not have the caregiver come back even once and just be done with it?  This would be much easier for me, naturally.  Or is it worth having her come in to work one day (she would be fine wth this) just so they can properly say goodbye?[/quote]
