AP been with me since beginning Oct.
Not good with housework but I kept her to help me with childcare and light housework following my gynae op and during recovery.
I told her would be mixture of housework and childcare in interview, also told her I needed her cos I was having a planned operation BEFORE she accepted the position.
Kept her cos I really couldn't manage on my own and had to pay for additional household help to do the bits she wouldn't do properly, like dusting and hoovering.
I wanted to send her home but I emotionally and physically face recruiting and training someone else.
She has now told me she thought the job was only childcare!
She is 20, fresh from university and a blank cv.
She has no baby experience and I have totally trained her.
I got a cleaner cos I thought she she was bad at cleaning, not cos she was Lady Muck, to even wipe the highchair tray without being asked daily!
WTF do I put for a reference?
Her work and attitude is erratic, she goes 2 weeks tomorrow and I need her to stay cos I physically must have domestic assistance, on medical grounds.
I actually want to throw her out, I've been so kind to her, I allowed her home at 2 day's notice for a family funeral, she hasn't babysat once, she has all weekend off, she eats the same food as we do, I've always paid her on time and when she was ill, dh wrote her a prescription and I went out in pouring rain to get her antibiotics! She has her own bathroom and tv. I had her parents here for a meal when tneh visited the UK, I even bought her an Easter Egg, FFS!
