We have had our nanny for about 3 months now and I just fired her. We've been unsure about her for a long time and have debated whether to look for a new person (based on safety, knowledge of health and hygiene, and language barrier), but I just got a text from her today saying that she can only work 2 days this week and 2 next week! She only gave me 2 days notice (and it's just for a birthday trip). That was the last straw...

All in all I'm glad that she finally made the decision easy, but now I've got to scramble to find someone else! (I have family nearby in the meantime.)

At least I know more clearly what we need to look for now... : (
