Time to get a new sitter?

I'm having problems with my daughters sitter. Recently I noticed that she hasn't had milk on the days she is with the sitter. The sitter says, when she asks my daughter if she wants milk, my daughter always tells her no. Also I will give her food for lunch that isn't eaten or even opened, same response. The other day she came into my house and said it look liked somebody had robbed it because there were some toys knocked on the floor and some old leaves. We had just finished moving the plants when she walked in. She also digs at my appearance. She thinks I am not taking care of myself because I don't get up at 5 in the morning and put make up on and fix my hair. I have health problems that make it hard for me to do little more in the mornings then get my daughter up and ready for the day. The last straw came on mothers day. She took a package of those rainbow devil ducks and threw them out because she said they were Satan's tools. What do I do about her?

Her behavior is inappropriate. First of all, when a parent instructs you to give the child milk or feed the child something particular, you do it! There are ways of getting a child to co-operate with you, so saying that the child simply said no is a poor excuse.

How you keep your house is your business, not hers. It sounds as though she may have been making a joke when she said it was robbed, but sometimes she's just got to bite her tongue.

It's none of her business if you don't wear makeup, or anything else you do or don't do with yourself. That's rude and uncalled for.

What gives her the right to throw away something that isn't hers? She's overstepping her bounds.

When working with a family there has to be respect there. I'm not a "sitter", but I've been a full time career nanny for 5 years (and a preschool teacher for 4 prior to that). When entering someone else's home, it is imperative that you show respect. Also, to not carry out a parent's instructions is just ridiculous. It's your child, your preferences, and you're the boss! She needs to respect that and follow that, otherwise she needs to be fired. My advice to you is to find someone who will be better suited to your family.

Good luck!
