A complete let down

Reviewed

I am highly disappointed with this nanny's unprofessional behaviour. I interviewed her last Friday at which she agreed to nanny for me starting this Monday. The days and times were all agreed upon at the end of interview.

She then messages me on this website on what seems like Sunday to say she took a job elsewhere and wont be nannying for me Monday. She had my mobile number but didn't have the decency to call me and let me know over the phone she assumed I would receive message through this website which I didn't until Monday morning.

I rang her several times on Monday morning as I hadn't seen her message yet on website and she ignored all my calls and texts.

I was unable to go to work because of her unprofessional behaviour and am now at risk of losing my job. I would have thought she would have the decency to adhere to what was agreed on Friday instead of leading me on and so drastically letting me down . I am so disappointed in how she has handled the whole situation.

I have put 1 star because I don't have a choice but to tick a star otherwise she isn't worth even that 1 star.

This review has left me shocked and disappointed and I want you to be aware of what occurred.

I attended an interview with Zahra on Friday 5th February. During the interview I got the impression she wasn't really interviewing me but instead it seemed she was offering me the position. I asked her if this was the case and she agreed. I informed her I would need to take time to think about it and asked her if she was interviewing anyone else at which she replied that she wasn't.
This left me feeling very pressured as though she was already fully relying on me.
We discussed hours and days and as the interview ended we agreed I would have a think and get back to Zahra by Sunday 7th February.

I decided to accept another position for many reasons and upon making my decision I tried to call Zahra on Sunday Morning, when I couldn't get through I sent two text messages and a further message on childcare.co.uk to be sure Zahra would get my message.

However on Monday morning I noticed a number of missed calls and text messages upon waking and immediately responded. I was taken aback by the rudeness of the messages i received.

I have never taken a nanny role unless I was 100% sure it was a good fit and that is why I like to have time to think over the role and how me and the family got on.
