Definitely cut ties quickly and with as little said as possible. I just had a similar situation and it ended badly. This woman hired my teens to babysit her infant over the summer in my home. (I only let me teens babysit in my home so I can oversee things and protect my own kids from the crazies out there).

Anyway, when I told her it was time to start looking for someone else (this was supposed to be temporary) she flipped out, cursed, and screamed about how we were "ruining her life" and began making accusations and threats about calling CPS on us!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to tell her I was about to call the police to get her out of my house and when she left she assaulted my youngest child by shoving her forcibly to the side as she walked by.

Definitely tell her on the phone and say as little as possible. People like this will twist everything you say and try to use it against you.
