That's really hard. I would confront her with what Girl 2 said. Ask her if she is happy and if she wants the job or not? Then if she says yes tell her she needs to step up to the plate. Put her phone away when she comes in the door. Get down to play with the kids, change diapers and do other things without being told. And if she fails to do this then you will have to let her go.
If you do not want to have this conversation then I suggest to simply cut her hours to the point where she has to find another job.

As for today, ask her nicely to put her phone away while she is there. Tell her, first we are going to ....do a project with the kids, play doh, clean, etc. Then we are going to....
Put a timeframe on this. If you tell her she is to clean a cubby shelf and all the toys in it, make sure you say it like this: "Please clean this shelf, clean the toys and organize them and that should only take you about a 1/2 hour. So after that you can...."
