I would sit her down and explain what she's doing and why it's not okay with you. ("I know you mean well when you correct the kids in my care but I would prefer you not do that because...... Also, you have a tendency to walk through my house with dirty shoes, etc. I would really appreciate it if you would stop doing that. This is a day care but it is also my home....") If you're thinking of terminating her over her behavior anyway, you don't have anything to lose by speaking with her.
I'd at least give her a chance to fix the things she's doing wrong. If after you speak with her, she continues to walk through your home with her dirty, wet boots, continues to take candy from your candy dish, etc., I'd terminate her at that point.
Also, just wanted to add that my husband was adopted but he has never behaved the way this woman does in your home. Her behavior really doesn't have anything to do with being adopted.
