Hi, after six months of putting up with a gormless but good enough au pair, I am now ready to ask her to leave and get a new one. Long story I won't bore with, including forgetting to collect ds, forgetting to cook him any supper, teaching dd's to swear etc.
I'm leaving my job this week so will be at home until I get more work and it's a perfect excuse to tell her to look elsewhere without confronting all her wrongdoings.
But she lives with us. I feel bad about it. She's only 20. First, is one month's notice enough? Second, what if she sees I'm advertising for a new one after she's gone? She'll know it was her I wanted to get rid of not because I'm not working.
FWIW she doesn't want to work with children anyway and has printed out her CV already so my impression is she's looking elsewhere.Has a boyfriend and friends so I'm not throwing her on the streets exactly. Support please to give me strength to do it. Thanks.

To be scared of sacking my aupair in case she sees I'm advertising for a new one
