[quote=Anonymous]- She isn't bonding well with my 3.5 yr old (this is the biggest issue***). I know age 3 can be a tough age but she acts like she just doesn't like her.

She is a caretaker.  She has to take good care of her, not bond. Bonding is for parents.

- She doesn't enjoy being flexible with hours (we do one date night a month but wish we could do this twice a month. She acts like its an inconvenience even though she is home all the time)

She gets paid the same either way.  Would you be flexible?  Probably not if your job didn't require it.  How may hours is she working?  Just hire another babysitter once a month.

- She doesn't like to play outside (my 3.5 yr old LOVES being outside even in the cold weather).

Not everyone likes the cold.  You can take your child out when you get home.

- She is not very proactive with tasks. I usually have to ask her several times to do things but then she does it.

Give her a list.

- She wants nothing to do with the kids when she is off. Fair enough but she just gives off a rude vibe.

She probably spends more time with them than you do.  She wants a break.  Do you like to do work on your off time?

- She slept in twice and I had to knock on her door bc I was late to meetings.

Not a big deal in six months.  Get her an alarm clock.[/quote]
