Disappointing and Unprofessional Experience

1 stars

At first, she presented herself as warm, attentive, and appealing — the kind of caregiver any parent would feel lucky to find. Sadly, with each passing day, her behavior became more problematic and unprofessional.

She seemed more focused on money than genuinely caring for my child, frequently disturbing me during my work hours for non-urgent matters, despite being fully paid a handsome amount for her services. She even sent me messages about my baby passing a normal poo — something any trained childcare provider should handle calmly without interrupting a parent’s workday.

Her abrupt withdrawal from her duties came without proper notice, using false health concerns about my baby to justify leaving. In reality, my baby was simply teething — a completely normal stage that any experienced caregiver should know how to manage.

If she finds a child she prefers to care for, she will suddenly accuse you and your baby of fabricated “problems,” turning everyday occurrences into exaggerated issues.

What’s worse, she failed to disclose that she had recently undergone surgery, limiting her ability to lift or care for an infant. This was dishonest and unsafe. She even denied that I had signed the contract, despite me having provided all required documentation.

My baby returned home with his first-ever diaper rash under her care, a clear reflection of neglect and poor hygiene. During my hospital shifts, she repeatedly contacted me for trivial reasons, showing no respect for my professional commitments.

I strongly advise parents seeking reliable, sincere, and professional childcare to look elsewhere. I would not wish for any parent to go through what she put me through.

I couldn't cater to you varied unfeasible needs and demands, which led to me ending the settling in period on the 5th day. Thankfully I have learned a valuable lesson in dealing with an individual such as yourself. I wish you the best of luck in finding childcare that caters to your demands.
