[quote=Anonymous]Hi Everyone,

I would appreciate some advice.

I employed my nanny six months ago. Everything was great at first. She offered to do extra things, kept the house tidy, spent time with the kids, etc.

Fast forward six months later and these are the issues we have had:

-Every day she is five minutes late.
-Calls in sick every month. (Only gives us one hour notice from her scheduled time.)
-Has asked several times to do personal things on paid time. (Bank, grocery shopping, etc.)
-Has slept in several times and has been late.
-Has damanged expensive house items without apologizing. (Burned table, wrecked a towel set.)
-Sneaks food home without asking.
-Continually lets kids watch tv even though we have told her no tech time during the week.
-Leaves laundry for me to put away. (We pay 2.5 hours for housekeeping everyday when the kids are in school.)

Recently, I have had my hours changed at work so we no longer need a nanny. I gave her 30 days notice and then she calls in sick that same week.
 The next day she asks to take the kids to an appointment and I said no. She is scheduled to be off on Monday.

She came in today and has attitude; refuses to take my son to the park because it is too cold.

I am beyond frustrated. She is acting strange and I do not know what her problem is. I pay her above minimum wage and reimburse her for all field trips/mileage. I let her bring her son when he is off school and during the summer.

In my contract, I have to give her 30 days but I don't feel she is being fair. I do not know what to do anymore...
