[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take your first steps based on her previous interest.  She has invited your children to help her and enjoyed their company.

However, you need to be clear whether you are paying her or not.  If not, you aren't her employer, and your relative is really the only one who gets to say what she does.  If you are her employer, you have more control, but you'll also put her in the position of doubting whether her original position will continue at 40 hours if this goes south.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure she has a job for life.  I mean, if your employer didn't ask you to leave when the toddler you were initially paid to watch graduates high school and moves to another state for college, they clearly want you to stick around.  They also paid her all the way through covid without asking her to come in until she was vaccinated.

I would not be paying her.  I might give her a nice bonus or something, but she would continue to get paid by her current employers.  All I need is transportation.  It wouldn't surprise me if she ended up doing more, because she's that sort of person that might fix the kids a snack to be nice, but those wouldn't be things I'd ask her to do. [/quote]
