[quote=Anonymous]Be honest with yourself and look whatever it's best for you and for your children.  It's easy to know due all the details you provide;  you are not happy with her all.  As a nanny myself, I'm totally understand what you are not happy having her anymore.

I could that she is not a Professional Nanny and the way she works it's very poor.  Lack of reliability, no engaging with your children the way a Nanny should be doing, (outside and indoor activities) and also no cleaning up after her/them (their messes) after they play, eat, do crafts etc.  This would be her total responsibility.  And as a Nanny I couldn't stand "dirty dishes in the sink" from my part or from my employers.  My bosses are responsible to clean up their own mess and I am responsible for my mess and my charges.  It's very nice to set expectations from both parties so we can work in a good environment.

Also I am very surprised, that You as her employer;  have not start to looking for someone else to replace her ASAP.  Honestly, as I said as a Nanny myself,  I can't imagine missing so many days at work.  I would be embarrassed for my lack of professionalism.

When a Family look for a Nanny, the first thing they look is for someone responsible and very reliable and your Nanny, clearly is not a Great Nanny.  She is just ok.  Sorry to tell you, but that's what I think.

Don't feel bad.  It's better to move and let her go.  I'm sure you will find the right way to talk to her or just being honest and tell her your expectations have change.  I believe , if she would be working for another Family, this family would have fired her already, for her lack of reliability.  Honestly I don't know any Nanny who has missed too many days at work and still has her Job.

Good luck.
