After arranging babysitting hours with this person via a whatsapp call, my husband and I decided to cancel as we did not like her attitude.
When we informed her, she promptly replied with a long message saying she didn’t want to babysit my LO anyways and that she blocked me in order to avoid getting a negative review.
The site however allows you to leave reviews even if blocked.

I contacted Sandra (which she is the mum of the boy) trought the chat of childacare, then she ask me to have a videocall trought whatssap, when we had the videocall I asked her the normal questions I ask to any family, as how much they pay, what days and times they need a nanny, what task the required from the nanny, but she denied to asnwer my questions, she told me she will tell me the answers if I look after their boy for 1 day and after that, sh will tell me more information about the job position, in that moment I accepted to look after their boy for 1 day, but I had a really bad feeling about this person, I have had many interviews with families and this is the first time someone want I look after their children without give me any information or details which I felt this was not right and me as a nanny I also deserve to be respected and the family be honest about the job, I know there are families can be not kind and polite with nannies as I already had bad experiences with families dont treating me with respect, so I had the feeling this family is going to be rude and problematic as they dont want to give me any information.

Sandita texted me the next day to cancell me, she said they don't need a nanny for thursday wich this suppos to be the day I would look after their boy, so I answer I dont feel safe to work with a family which doesnt want to give me any information about the job and will better they look another nanny, she got very angry and when she started to text me and just blocked her as I'm not that kind of person like to be arguuing for things are not even worth.

Today this family left me really malicious review, to take revenge and tried to damage my reputation I knew to work for this family would be problematic as in the videocall they never made me feel respected and they didnt want to be honest about the job.

I already contacted her trought the chat in this website to apologized to her if she felt offended when I told her I dont want to work with her, but now, after Sandra left me a malicous review, as its really awful and childhood to leave a negative review just because I refuse to be her nanny.

So I advice to any nanny to be carefull with Sandra as she will take revenge if you decide dont look after her child, wich is really horrible actitud, noone (no any nanny) deserve to being treating like this, doesnt matter the amount of money they could offer, we everybody deserve to be treanted with respect and emphaty, as we are also humans with rights and feelings.

Definetly this is the worst experience I have had in this lovely childcare website. I can't understand someone wich also is a inmigrant as me, because she is not even British, can be awful and revenge with a mexican nanny when she is married also with a mexican man just because I refuse to work for her.
