Ok but I did not feel confident or comfortable
Thanks for the emergency babysitting and being on time.
Chloe was good to come the day before to spend an hour with our Son. The next day she was meant to watch him for the day however we didn't feel comfortable leaving him and my husband worked from home. My husband felt he had to keep checking him as he was moaning and crying a bit. I ended up coming home at lunchtime to take over and let Chloe go.

I feel this is very inaccurate and unfair. I constantly interacted with the child and helped with his learning by reading at least 5 books and carried out other activities and followed exactly his routine as is normal. The 1 year old cried twice during a period of 5 and a half hours which is completely normal and to be expected especially considering he was being looked after by a new carer who he is not yet familiar with. The inevitable communication misunderstanding caused one of these issues and I immediately asked the Dad if the child meant he would like to go outside which I then did and played with him, and encouraged him to try out their new equipment that the Dad said he was using for the first time so the child obviously felt comfortable with my support. I strongly suspect that the parent decided to come home early as she was originally looking for a childminder which as standard is around half the price. You cannot enlist a nanny and then pay them for half the time agreed, maybe she shouldn’t have enlisted the help of a nanny in the first instance as she was obviously against paying the standard price charged. I also received a very late payment and was asked inappropriate questions at interview. I wouldn’t recommend this family to work for.
