Lynzie-rose K.

Lynzie came to our home and interviewed for a job for a full time nanny to my infant twins. She spent approximately a hour and a half here talking with us and interacting with the twins. She had strong prior experience and assured us that she would be comfortable with infant twins. She sent us an email after the interview explaining how she loved our family and thought she would be a great fit. She told us she also interviewed with several other families however we were her first choice.  After interviewing some other candidates we decided to offer Lynzie the job. I was clear with hours needed, the pay rate, and her responsibilities. She immediately accepted the position and we arranged a time for her to come to our home and learn where things were and a bit about the twins schedule. Lynzie moved this orientation three times. I re-arranged my schedule twice to accommodate her. When she finally did come she spent five hours with me. She seemed very comfortable and told me that she interviewed with five families and all offered her the job but she choose to work for us. We gave her a key to our house and paid her for the 5  hours. Of note, the twins were asleep two of the five hours in which Lynzie and I sat on the couch talking about nothing. However I paid her for five hours out of good faith and to start our working relationship on a good note. She left saying she was excited to start working and would see me on her start date. Two hours later Lynzie sent me an email explaining that she had to turn down the job. She said she felt overwhelmed and she didn't think she was a right fit. Which is the complete opposite of what she had told us during the interview, the prior emails, and the five hours she spent here. She did a complete 180 in a matter of two hours in which we are still in shock over. This all happened one week prior to Lynzie's start date and me returning to work which left us in a absolute horrible position. We had to restart the process of finding a nanny within 7 days or I would have to take unpaid time off work which was not a possibility.  Not only do we feel lied to and misled, we are deeply upset and disappointed with Lynzie's actions and the way she handled herself and the situation. We feel the Lynzie misrepresented herself and her capabilities as a nanny.  I rarely if ever have written a review however felt that Lynzie's actions required one. As a fellow parent looking for a qualified, responsible, honest nanny...we would not recommend Lynzie in anyway.
