I would also change her salary position. This would be my first step. My younger sister (18) works part-time as my assistant after-school and such and I made it very clear at the beggining that I would only be paying her hourly. If she didn't come, she didn't get paid. Also if she called out (unless she's sick or has a valid excuse) I won't call her to use her. There is another friend of mine that is in the process of getting her Child Development associates and has a lot of free time. If my sister can't make it I call her. So my sister knows that if she calls out I may not call her to come back for a few days. I usually have my friend cover the rest of the week too so that it's in her best interest to help me out on such short notice. I just can't stand when people want to hang out and have fun and call outfrom work but want to put me in a bad spot at my daycare.
