[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I babysit/Nanny for a few families.
Both past + present.

I am so grateful that all of my families are now referrals from other ones.
No more looking online again!

However I recently have an issue:
One family that I was recommended to (from four co-workers!) has hit a snag.
While they are generally nice people, I have had issues w/them the past six months or so w/them.

They have written a few bad checks which were awkward to deal with.
I have also caught them in lies multiple times and have experienced job creep w/them.

I have had it. I have put up w/their behavior for so long because I truly love their three kids.
I also admittedly am afraid the other families who recommended me to this family may think negatively of me.

My question is -&gt; If you recommended your great Nanny/sitter to a friend or co-worker, then things went South between them…. 
Would you start doubting the person you recommended?

FYI - I have had and continue to have great relationships w/the other families within this network.[/quote]

One bounced check and I would have found another job.  I have a small business and employee paycheck are a top priority.  Bounced checks and lies are unforgivable.[/quote]
