not dependable.

Was very excited over the phone and promised to come for an interview. Didn’t show up as scheduled, didn’t even bother to send a message that she couldn’t make it. I also called to ask if she was coming, but didn’t pick up the phone. It’s really very annoying that you speak to people who seem to have the right things to say and the right certificates. But eventually they can’t even show up on a designated time. One shudders to think how irresponsible they would eventually be if looking after a child.

Please make sure you don’t book a meeting with this person and don’t show up , even if you been in the hospital for the last two days and unable to contact anyone , she will come here and make a really bad review on you ! It’s not like I miss my first day of work , was just a meeting , there was no need of doing that ! Pretty childish ! I do not want to work for people that are so vindictive and mean for something so banal like a meeting ! And you can make as many reviews as you want , but don’t came and call me irresponsible , you don’t even know me and apparently you don’t care about the others , you just assumed that I didn’t went cause I was irresponsible , I was actually in the hospital ! What a great example you must be to your kids ! Think twice before you come here and call people irresponsible , I saw that you have done that a lot before to other people , you are just a vindictive person !!!!

Not suitable for a nanny role.

Didn't show up as promised after a trial. And showed absolute lack of empathy to young children. Her temperament is not suitable for a nanny. Wouldn't recommend her at all.

Response by Susie on 02/10/2017:

This employer asks you to do things screaming of you and in an unpleasant and rude way, treating you like a slave.

She doesn’t know words like please and thank you.

When you tell her that you don’t want to continue working with her, after 3 days trial, she coerces you to continue if not, she doesn’t will pay you. For this I need to said I will comming back on Monday to take my salary. She dont want to pay taxes.

Calling you after 23:30 when I was sleeping.

SMS from her at 23:35
"Susie I tried calling you again. I am sorry but I am unable to make a payment if I dont get confirmation from you o you cant speak in person to confirm you will comming on monday."

PLEASE KEEP AWAY FOR THIS JOB.

Unprofessional and unreliable

Eve spoke very well on the phone and seemed to be very interested in the job. She sent me her resume and references but then failed to show up for the interview. I called her half an hour later from the scheduled time but she didn't pick up the phone. This kind of behaviour is very disappointing because you seem to hire people as Nannies to take care of your child and then they turn out to be completely unreliable. If you don't want the job just have the courtesy to say you can't come for the interview as it would save all of us a lot of time and energy. One shudders to think how they are truly with children when you can't even rely on them to show up for a scheduled interview.

Didn't show up for scheduled interview.

Carolina applied for the job and when I spoke to her over the phone we arranged for her to come in person for an interview. Not only did she not show up, there was no message or call to let me know that she was not coming. This kind of behaviour is very disappointing especially when people write that they have held responsible positions when dealing with children.
