The sheets, organizing toys and preparing their meals are nanny duties.
That may give you a little insight perhaps.
If she accepted a job offer that included those elements as part of the job description, it is her fault, not her employers. These domestic jobs often have elements of one job description or another, and are not set in stone. Please don't act like nannying, a profesison that has no educational requirements, no licensing, and nearly complete autonomy (compared to being in an office with coworkers and several bosses) in the course of a day, is so universally pre-determined.
People advertise for what they need. If someone accepts a job but doesn't want to do the duties specified, that is their issue and they risk losing their job as this foolish nanny did. She is lucky. OP is right to let her go.
OP, i think she may feel bad for not performing earlier and
<< is trying to make up for the fact she did not perform the duties she said she would when she accepted the job.

She wants a good reference or she wants you to tell her that you will let her come back after her 12 week vacation.

Good riddance to you.

BTW it's UNLOADING so she didn't even had to touch yucky dishes. It was just putting things away that I had cleaned the night before. Easy peasy.

She knew that when she read my job post and accepted the position knowing those were her tasks to perform.
If she didn't want to perform them she should not have applied.
And I offered $2 extra per hour from what she asked because I knew those were extra.
The kids' room is 8x8 and has one dresser. It takes me 5 minutes to dust and vacuum it.
Like DH said, she was plain lazy and that's not something we want or children learning from their caregiver.
