[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks all for the feedback over the last week. The update is that she went to the doctor today and has had a miraculous recovery. The doctor said she’s fine and does not have a concussion, but she’s not coming back to work with us because her husband said she’s ‘not allowed to’. 
My guess is that the reason for all of the excuses over the last month is stress in her marriage. We’re going to save all of the details of this situation in case she tries to file any kind of claim against us in the future. 
As a learning lesson for myself, I’m going to trust my gut and not engage or send money to anyone who’s not showing up and performing their duties. We didn’t have to pay her for last week or various days off last month. It’s an expensive lesson [/quote]

Please post a review on care.com  Nobody else needs to fall for her BS. The way she handled this is absurd.  I know the DCUM apologists are going to jump on that, but there are other ways to quit or leave a job other than to jerk your employer around and try to milk them for a few weeks'pay.[/quote]

Yes especially during the holidays. At least I have in writing that she’s fully recovered! Hopefully that means it’s less likely she’ll try to file a claim later [/quote]

Yeah, I bet you’re safe there. It seems like you’d have a pretty straightforward countersuit for the payments you made to her based on fraudulent representations on the part of the former nanny.

Definitely post a review. You can try to prevent the next person from getting scammed.[/quote]

But if I post a negative review now, don’t you think I’m just opening myself up for trouble? She could claim I interfered with her ability to get another job, after she got a concussion while working for us. I think she’s capable of saying anything. Also I never interview anyone with negative reviews so I imagine it would definitely hurt her ability to get another position. [/quote]

Just limit yourself to what you know is true. She claimed she got a concussion, missed a week of work, and was unwilling or unable to provide medical documentation when requested. After receiving a paid week off, not granted by the employment agreement, she quit.[/quote]
