Arranged child care , she kept getting confused with the dates very forgetful . On the day of arranged child care by him despite asking her several times if this day and time works and she’s free her confirming with a yes she’s cancelled last minute saying “ something awful happened to her kids to find someone else” she was difficult on obtaining checks and dbs reluctant to do so asked me to provide mine even tho I am the one looking for someone to care for my toddler in my own home . She kept asking for money before a hire. Fake , unserious unprofessional a scam . Please do not use and be careful .

Thank you for your feedback. I'm so so sorry that your experience did not go as expected for you. However, I would like to clarify that I always provide my DBS and documents through the correct process once a childcare agreement is conformed.
Now regarding payment, I do not normally request any money before providing care. but in this case, I only raised the topic on the day as a one-off gesture of reassurance, after concerns were expressed about finances, to ensure there would be no difficulties on the day and moving forward.
I remain committed to reliable communication, safeguarding. and professionalism at all times, and I'm always happy to provide references and documents to any family considering my services.
