[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You mentioned your aunt was providing care before you hired this nanny.   Is she available now to watch the kids until you find someone new?  Or can you or your spouse take some time off work to watch them?  I would not keep this woman any longer.   I would terminate immediately and no, you do not owe any severance.

When I saw your $20/hr rate at first I thought that was very high, especially considering she brings her own child along.   But then I remembered that:
1.  You have TWO special needs children
2.  You need the person to work a split shift with no compensation in the between hours.
Both of those things will raise the appropriate rate.

When you hire your next nanny you should not even consider someone bringing their own child along;  that is too much work along with two special needs children.

To get a quality child care provider for this situation, you will have to pay a much higher rate than $20/hr.  [/quote]

Makes total sense. Thank you. She quoted her own rate based on what we said we needed. 1 kid is in school 3 full days and 2 half days. The other has half days. We didn't realize that her own daughter would require so much care and time. She requires more attention than our 2. But it makes sense that she's competing for mommy's time. Our main concern is her unwillingness to provide proper ID and  leaving children unattended while cleaning / rinsing the other children. The ID and her daughter seem to be the greatest concern right now. We are new at this and totally missed the mark. It's our grandkids. My husband travels for work and both my daughter and I are in education (her kids). [/quote]

You are trying to downplay. That nanny sucks and you got suckered. Fire here and look for another professional nanny but, it will cost you. [/quote]
