[quote=Anonymous]Our nanny of 2.5 years has had a slew of personal appointments this year, always telling us only the day before. This leads to a scramble of one of use having to ask off work (if even possible), calling up babysitters (we have a 1 and 3 yo), or acting as the nanny's secretary helping her re-schedule.

Yesterday was a total disappointment. She knew she was to work half a day, we had spoken about it on several occasions. However, when my spouse got home first Thursday evening, she asked for her paycheck and said see you in a couple weeks (we are off on a 2 week vacation). He said, No we'll be seeing you tomorrow. And she said No, I have an appointment, plus you emailed me vacation is July 1-whatever.  (My spouse did not stipulate in the old email it was a half day - however, we spoke multiple times, including 4 days ago, that we needed her until 12 noon). SPouse paid her for the week and then the 2 week vacation and was flustered.

I got home and was shocked. So we have no childcare today, yet both have to go in to work. Between packing for our Friday 5pm flight we cobbled together some HS kids.

I left today to a crying baby with a total stranger and my spouse dropped the 3 yo off at her camp.

I am beyond sick of our nanny's off priorities and how she plays my spouse and I off each other in order to get extra time off. She didn't even care to listen to him yesterday or return our calls last night to discuss this 'confusion.'  I live in fear she is willy nilly gone and all her last minute antics are not reliable childcare.  My spouse and I are at our saturation point with her disrespect and bad attitude.

Anyone else been here?[/quote]
