Assistant Help in Home Daycare

This is rediculous gbcc!

Just tell her you cant afford an assistant anymore. Period. You arent firing her. I am glad you are trying to cover all your bases but the labor board is not going to give you any answers in your favor it looks like. We are an "at will" state too. An employer can lay you off/fire you for no reason. Just tell your friend you cant keep her on anymore. Give her 2 weeks to find another job as a courtesy. I mean...she is your friend. Do you think she is going to try to turn you into the Labor Board or something?

Well, unfortunately I have had friends turn me in for bogus things before. I was providing care for a friends child. They would tell me to shut up, throw things at my wall, go in my fridge without asking and the list goes on. I tried addressing it with her for 2 months before I terminated their care. She turned me in to my registrar saying I got rid of her kids because they were black. (She was white, father no in pic was black). So I don't have the best judge of so called "friends" and it makes me concerned.

Oh, I see...

I don't have many friends... LOL! I guess I am pretty choosy on who I let into my world. Sorry about this whole mess you are dealing with. I hope you will get it resolved soon.

Talk to her again and tell her that you just cant afford to have an assistant and give her a written two weeks notice. If she turns you in then deal with it at that time but try not to worry about to much unless it happens. I RARELY do care for friends kids and if i do i follow my contract and policy to the T and they know it! As I said before if she's your friend she will move on, but with her little 'Oh' comment when you told her you were losing money with her kids there it doesnt look as if she's someone I'd want as a friend, at least not one that i could trust enough to share my business with. Good Luck
