[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have a contract?

She might need more guidance to start. I'd make a list - daily things to do, things to do during extended down time, etc.

Daily: 
Load and empty dishwasher

Twice a week:
bake some chicken/meal prep

Weekly: 
Disinfect toys
vacuum playroom

The crumbs thing is nit-picking - some people have better dishwashers than others. I know grown women in their 30's who will put a plate caked in dried eggs in the dishwasher and then blame the dishwasher when the plate doesn't get cleaned. 
Tell her to rinse the plates first.

Some people wouldn't feel comfortable throwing away toys without your permission.

The car seat thing is a big deal. What did you ask her references? Did they mention any weaknesses?[/quote]

Have a sit down with her like this poster said and make clear expectations.  I think all the excess about the nutritionist, etc is not relevant.  Many many people use car seats wrong.  She needs to be taught.  Give her notice and if it doesn't work after a few weeks then find someone new.

We got a new dishwasher and with the right detergent I don't need to scrub the dishes.[/quote]
