Sincere apologies to the last family who had a bad experience with Antonia. She blocked me before I was able to leave a review. I hoped we would be a one off, but after seeing the latest review I contacted the website so I could warn other families.

We employed Antonia for 7 months. She was great with the kids (or so we thought) but regularly demonstrated a lack of integrity. She used the bank card I gave her for family expenses for personal use, told us she couldn’t come to work because her friend was in town and lied to us about being ill during school holidays when she was actually looking after her children. After we gave her her notice she basically stopped coming to work, leaving us high and dry in the school holidays. She also owes us money for a weeks’ work that she said she would pay back and hasn’t. After we fired her during the notice period, things came to light which were very upsetting and I filed a police report. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
