[quote=Anonymous]Give her whatever notice is outlined in your contract/work agreement. If severance is outlined there as well, pay it - she hasn't neglected any aspect of her job, she just isn't going above and beyond the tasks she's responsible for, so it wouldn't be right to withhold that if it was negotiated upfront. If severance would be something you'd add onto the negotiated notice in recognition of her two years with you, that's solely at your discretion. It will vary from person to person and from relationship to relationship. Just do what feels right - you're letting her go so it isn't like she'll be around in a week to criticize your decision or thank you profusely, so trust your moral compass.

It sounds like for your next caregiver you'd be better off getting a nanny/housekeeper or a nanny/household assistant - someone who can do the grocery shopping and cooking, who can buy and wrap gifts for the kids' friends' birthdays, who can drop off and pick up dry cleaning, etc. during the down time. I imagine you could find someone for $18-$20/hr who will do an excellent job.[/quote]
