Ariana P.

I am reeling right now. Ariana worked for us for a week (we waited for her to get back in the country for a week because we felt she would be a good fit.) After a week of working for us, she told us Sunday night her whole family has covid and currently she was negative but she would be quarantining anyway for 14 days. A little suspicious but we try to respect everyone's decisions during COVID and figured it was because she was still living with the family members that were positive that she wanted to be careful. Well, I see on sittercity that she has in fact, started to work for another family, and subsequently ghosted them while she is supposedly on quarantine. In the meantime, I had been checking on her and her family, and confirming when she would be coming back. She strung us along like this and it wasn't until a week and half in that I figured out it was all a bunch of nonsense. I never confronted her, she just stopped responding. This is so unethical and disturbing. She really should be removed from this site altogether.

Please know your sudden resignation after your first shift was highly disruptive and unprofessional. We selected you after interviewing 5 qualified applicants for the job, but selected you bc you lived so close. Now these other applicants are employed elsewhere. You left us unable to work today bc we need to focus on childcare. I don’t understand your reasoning for abruptly resigning. You knew the hours and job responsibilities full well and even did a “mock nanny day” at our house prior to your start date to ensure your ok with the job duties. You stated you were “very excited and the job sounds perfect!”… As a recommendation, I would give a common curtesy of informing a family you cannot work for them until they secure the next sitter (or at least a few days notice). You resigned basically 12 hrs before your shift. Working Families beware.
