You can fire her regardless of any fact if you think that she cannot care for your child… But I don’t think anything you said leaves a lot of cause for alarm (except not washing your hands–gross!) If you are seriously afraid for your child, then call in to work and take some personal time to find a sitter you can trust, or let family babysit for a couple days until you find someone else and all references are checked.
Good luck!

You can fire her if you want. Your son’s safety come first, and you’ll be no good to your employer if you are worrying all day long anyway!
What means more, your sons wellbeing or not hurting this lady’s feelings???

Whow, I don’t know how you can get out of this situation, but you certainly shouldn’t be living your little gem with someone if you’re not comfortable with them. Simple hygiene shouldn’t be to much to ask of someone, that’s really quite gross, especially if she’s a professional, she should know better. You know what, he’s your son, don’t go against your own judgement, find someone else that you’re happy with, she’ll find another child to look after. If you really feel you can’t do that, you have every right to sit her down and tell her exactly what you expect from her. Is there anyone you can send around to check up on her while you’re at work? Or possible to pop home on your break at all? (i know not many have that luxury) I hope it works out, I really feel for you, this must be tough.

This must be driving you nuts,, If you have already been seeing how she takes care of your baby and she;s not doing them right ;i would have to let her go,It’s not a doll or bird were talking about ; it;s a human life and it;s your baby,,Even know she;s a Friends babysitter and left a job.I would tell her that other arrangements were made and give her a couple days pay and tell your job’ that you have to find a sitter,,,when you do get a nanny ;you should get a hidden video camera as nowadays it;s a good thing to have,,,,,I don;t blame you for not wanting this lady for a nanny as you have to have a piece of mind at work’ knowing that your sweet baby is in good hands,,,,,good luck and take your time finding a nanny ‘as when we hurry at things we pick the first one ‘without looking at other choices………….lol

If you don’t like her then get rid of her. It doesn’t matter who she is, you need to feel safe knowing your child is taken care of.
