[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about something like:

"Janet, unfortunately I am not going to be able to employ you the way I had hoped to.  I know you already compromised on your rate for me, and I really thought I could swing it (and really wanted to!) but I just can't make the numbers work.  I'm facing possible additional services needed for Billy also so I may really need to have some funds available if it turns out that he needs special help with his speech issues.  I'm so sorry to have to go back on this.  If I hear of anyone in need of a caregiver I will let you know."

If you are on a parenting group, or a neighborhood listserv, or even the job boards here on this thread, you could share a couple of possible jobs that you saw with her and offer to broker that connection for her.

And then don't overthink or worry about it.  Your job is finding the best care for your child, not worrying so much about anyone else's opinion of you.  [/quote]

Perfect Answer here.
But later down the line, [b]would she find out the truth through your mutual friend[/b]?[/quote]

Unless OP is telling everyone about the personality mismatch, then there is nothing to find out. [/quote]
