I recently hired a very qualified assistant. She is very good with the children, comes early, leaves late, brings crafts, and is generally a super hard and dedicated worker.
My only problem is that she wants to talk way too much with the parents when they pick up. She intercepts my conversation with them to share stories and tips when really she needs to be working with the other children and letting me be the main point of contact.
I understand that she wants to connect, and I appreciate that, but she is offering way too much information. She also told a grandparent that I allow her grandson to have his paci but she takes it away. Mom wants him to have his paci. Mom trumps grandma. Not cool!
I need some tips on how to address this. I need her to hang back and let me communicate with parents.
