Your priority is your child. She's not providing adequate care. In fact, she's being negligent. You have offered her options to keep her job while focusing on her life and she turned that down. She very clearly cannot focus on both things.

I would let her go.

I'd let her go.

Keeping the kid safe is the #1 job requirement and her head isn't there enough to do it. You gave her the option of a lead, and she didn't take it, and those are the consequences of her not knowing her limits.

I agree with those saying let her go. It seems like she isn't in a good place to be responsible for someone else. She may need the income but there are ways to earn money that don't put a child's well-being on the line. It seems like she needs some time to get whatever issues she has taken care of before she can be an effective nanny again.
