[quote=Anonymous]MB here.  I'm actually a total softy, but i can see from your description that this nanny isn't going to work out .  I would do the following (I'm ignoring the trolls since obviously after 9 years of good relationships with nannies you are not the major problem here).

1.  Talk about the tasks during the day when her charge was at school ,mention that things didn't seem done, like the laundry.  Ask her if there are any concerns about the routine she wants to discuss.  Hopefully this is a wake up call that you noticed she is not doing what she is supposed to and she will shape up.  But i think you know this won't happen.  
2.  Start looking for a new nanny.  
3.  When you find the new nanny (except for the 0.1% chance that things have totally turned around), tell the current nanny that things aren't working out because it doesn't seem that the "along time" part is for her.

I manage people at home and at work and what I've learned is that I just don't work with certain kinds of people, because they just don't change.  I think you have a case of that here.  Best of luck.[/quote]
