[quote=Anonymous]We’ve had our nanny for about 3 months now and for multiple reasons it wasn’t working out. The primary reasons we had to let her go are:

She’s consistently not on time. She’s due to start at 7AM and she often shows up at 7:06 or 7:10. 
She spends an inordinate amount of time on her phone. I’ve asked her to do the bare minimum tasks outlined in her job description, such as emptying the diaper pail or wiping down toys once per week. This doesn’t get done. My husband will come home to toys all over the floor when it’s time for her to leave at the end of the day. Most of the time when the baby is napping she sits for the duration of time on her phone, on the couch. 
She refuses to take out baby for walks in our neighborhood and takes him for 2-3 hour long excursions in the carrier. I have to remind her to tell me where they are going and when they will be back. 
She wanted to change her work hours to start later so she could “work out” in the morning.
She’s constantly making comments about what I eat that sound really patronizing such as “oh you’re eating so healthy! Good for you!”
She uses our microwave on a daily basis and has not once wiped down the gigantic mess that splatters and stains after she uses it.
She has asked me for our Netflix and Disney + password so she can use it herself.
She can’t seem to put dishes in the dishwasher and is leaving messes for me to clean up. 
She, at times, will lay down with our son during his nap time and not get up for 1+ hours. When I see her on the baby monitor she’s sleeping.

I tried to have a conversation with her about her job duties and went over our schedule, to which she got emotional and asked for reassurance that she was “doing a good job” and that “no one has ever given me feedback like this before.”

For the record, she watches our 6M old baby boy. She is paid $22/hr plus paid holidays and PTO/sick. She’s a 25 y/o nanny who came with 5+ years of experience. She started off really strong and then has just been slacking.

I told her on Friday that we were looking elsewhere for a nanny and that we would not need her to come in the following week. She sent me a long text about how unhappy she is, asking to work out her two weeks and how I have “screwed her over”, etc etc.
