[quote=Anonymous]OP, it’s time for her yearly review. Hopefully you didn’t just give her a raise already? (If you think it’s possible she’ll quit if you don’t give her more money and lots of praise, start a search now for a new nanny.)

You ask her to meet with you to discuss the past year and what the expectations are moving forward. You then serve her a poop sandwich. First, tell her that you appreciate XYZ that she does. Next, discuss the areas that need improvement and be clear about your expectations. I’d choose the 3 biggest problems that drive you craziest. Once you’ve course corrected her, close with, “I want you to succeed in this job. We will meet again in 3 months, the week of (dates), and do another review. At that point, if you are meeting expectations we can discuss a small raise and schedule our next 3 month review.”

If she pitches a huge fit, tell her that she seems unwilling to try to improve and let her go. Get all your stuff from her, make sure she takes all her stuff, and show her the door.

If she shapes up, give her a small raise. If f she doesn’t shape up, let her know that she’s now on probation and if there isn’t significant improvement the next week you’ll be letting her go for cause. [/quote]
