[quote=Anonymous]It is very hard to fill a position for 2-3 hours. There is a learning curve at most jobs, including this one. For example, you should let her know up front that your three year old needs reminders to use the bathroom. You also said you set out extra clothes for your son, but did you tell her that? She may not have known you wanted his clothes changed. I would be very explicit about your expectations (like please change the baby's outfit after lunch or if he is dirty; or please clean up the toys while the baby naps, etc.). It's also very difficult to engage a baby and a 3-year-old. I would show her how you handle doing that and ask her to try to do that as well. But just know it likely won't work as well since neither the baby or three year old are familiar with your babysitter yet. Let the rest go. I agree its a red flag to come late; but you agreed to interview her late and hired her when she was 7 minutes late. Why dwell on it now? [/quote]
