Mine has fallen asleep brieflydoesn’t watch the kids playing out back, took them in her car without their booster seats ( emergency situation but regardless!), and we recently found one of my kids lit a candle and she was unaware of it.
level of attention is non existent and frustrating, because she was good the first day or two.
she’s taken to becoming a piece of my furniture, as my kids make their own breakfast and lunch, and lets them eat all the snacks up in a day.
won’t let my dogs out often enough and won’t lock them up when she leaves to prevent anxiety for the animals.
Super upset about it all and plan to talk to her about it with the ability to let her go on the spot, but willing to allow her to change into who I’m sure she is but just think she’s got too much going on to do the job. She’s disabled I believe, so lots of “I can’t put this in or take this out” stuff which we work around but it’s still so frustrating and makes me sad.
I applaud your patience and giving her chances.
After a few "second chances", and things haven't changed, then if it were me I'd let her go immediately. Kids are way too important to have someone around who's not paying attention. It takes 2 seconds for a kid to climb up and fall off a bookshelf, fall into a pool, etc...
And I wouldn't give her an ultimatum. I.E. "we will give you ONE more chance to perform better, or else we will let you go." This would only breed resentment and then who knows what she'll do.
Best of luck brother, you're much more patient then I would be.
