Our nanny has been with us for a week and we're just not happy with her. Our old says she wants to come back, and we want her back.
The new one is really lazy - leaves bottles for me to wash up, doesn't put clean clothes in drawers etc - and this is week one when she should be at her most enthusiastic!
We haven't declared her yet as I wanted a trial period - but we are sure now we want her to go... ASAP. We just have bad gut feelings and don't think she's nice enough to our three children.
What do I do? I don't want to be mean about it, I don't want to upset her - I just want her out. I don't think she'll have a problem finding a new job - she's very qualified, but she won't be happy.
What can I say and how much money should we give her, notice etc? I want her out ASAP as our lovely old nanny can start now.
Please advise - I feel so unhappy as I don't think she's good for our children (they seem unhappy too) and I just want her gone - but I don't want to be horrid or break the law.
Thank you.
