im a playgroup teacher for 1 year olds. Im fed up from my assistant for a few reasons:
she just sits on a chair and lets me do bulk work
I need to tell her 3 times the same thing until she follows thru
she tells me what to do and she sits on a chair
now im fuming cuz she just texted me that shes coming in tomorrow at 12pm cuz she needs to watch her moms cleaning lady... ftr shes a high school age kid...

Honestly sounds very typical for a high school age kid. Maturity and responsibility comes with time and experience.
Not to say that you shouldn't correct her, just keep things in perspective

So why do you employ her? Get someone else

I'm assuming you've already tried setting expectations and correcting her, otherwise you wouldn't be posting here... Right?

Sit down with her and tell her what a pleasant personality she has and other praise. Then write up a schedule with very very specific instructions. Some kids are clueless and need alot of guidance.

I told her daily routine a few times but she does whatever she feels like it. for ex: I tell her to please help me feed kids lunch so she decides that she needs to organize closet then.. im talking to the wall... my boss knows abt it-she told me that shes really learning disabled. im mad at my boss for hiring again this summer

Maybe her mother didn't give her a choice.
Just tell her that her behavior will reflect on her pay.

This is on your boss. You need to have an honest discussion with her so she can hire accordingly.

It sounds like you could be more assertive with her.
Like if she's doing something else and you need her to be helping with lunch, say 'please stop doing that and help me with lunch.' even if you have to do it over and over and over

I dont understand!!!!!!!!!!!! her mother knows she has a job-job=commitment. y in the world does her mother think its okay on my cheshbon???????????
giving her less pay is not going to help for tom-when someone doesnt come to work u need to hire sub.

If your boss is the one on top of her and paying her, she should be calling your boss. And your boss needs to get a sub. Why do you have to deal with it?
Maybe tell boss you're doing double work with this girl and you need to be paid more.

I told her 3 times to take kids out of crib and she ignores me. so doesnt matter how many times I tell her. if shes not in the mood of doing something she wont budge

Sounds like she’s doing what’s good for her mom.
Sometimes employers hire special cases as a chessed or a favor if the mom is their friend. You should be careful how you talk to your boss about the assistant in case she is friends with the mother.

Again, this is on your boss. Your boss is the one who needs to procure and pay subs, too.
ETA: agree with watergirl. This is probably a chessed/friend type of hire.

Call your boss and tell her you need a sub, or more pay for double work.

my boss is not friends with her mom. but I guess I need to be assertive to my boss and give her criteria what I need in a good assistant...
