This nanny worked for me for two months. Within these couple of months she was frequently late and had to call my mother over to wait for her so that I could go to work. Most recently she was supposed to show up for a shift starting at 530am on a Wednesday to watch my children while I went to work and she did not call or show up at all. We were unable to get a hold of her all day despite numerous attempts to and around 8pm that night she finally responded saying she was sick and broke her phone. I had spoken to her the night before around 9pm and her phone was fine. She knew where i worked, knew where my mother worked and she could have emailed me through this site among various other ways she could have attempted to reach out. She worked that Friday as I did not have time to replace her and then asked for the following week off which we gave her because my mother was luckily off of work and could watch the kids. The next week she quit on a Sunday night at 9pm claiming to have sent me texts the week before, which I never received, that she was deciding to quit without notice. When I asked for my key and car seat back she then said she was still out of town and couldn't go home until her fiance had "days off" and he wasn't sure when that would be. This statement did not make sense to me. When pressed, she then said her fiance's son was available the next day at their house and the key and car seat were there. I drove and hour to her house and and hour back to pick up my belongings. The events of the past three weeks have been very weird and unprofessional. I am a single parent and due to her actions was almost fired from my own job as I had to scramble last minute to cover for days she committed to working. It is for this reason in conjunction with her being late frequently that I highly recommend you hire someone more dependable and someone who knows how to behave in a professional manner.
