[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's just not the right nanny for you.  You're trying to make a square peg fit a round hole.

You need a nanny who can drive.  That's pretty straightforward.

For the rate you're offering you will be astounded at the level of care and service you can find if you do a search.  Truly.  You'll wonder why you waited so long.[/quote]

+1 For what you're paying you should be getting quality care, not extra frustration English speaking or not. [/quote]

This exactly.  The wages and the non-English-speaking are red herrings.  Your issue is that you are paying an excellent wage for a nanny that is "not very professional," does not drive and requires you to miss work to drive them places, needs a ride to the Metro in order to get to your house every day, requires way too much effort in terms of helping her out, etc.  She's also 61 - perhaps she's a spry 61, but I would assume that few 61-year-olds would have the energy to be keeping up with a toddler for a full-time work schedule.

Obviously this is not the nanny you need.  You will find tons of well-qualified nannies for $17 an hour for one toddler.
