[quote=Anonymous]MB here.  We had a similar situation.  In her first week on the job our nanny got in a car accident (she was in someone else's car), and then got her car stuck in the snow (it was hardly snowing) and had to cancel.  It was so hard to know whether she was a complete flake, or had two bad breaks in one week, because we didn't have a relationship yet and hadn't built that trust.  She didn't respond the way I would have, which made me suspicious.  She apologized, but didn't say anything like "I'm really sorry this happened twice in my first week" or anything else to acknowledge that it seemed shady.

My point OP, is that I learned a lesson not to judge people if they don't act exactly as I would have, and to give people the benefit of the doubt.  We have now had this nanny for ten months and trust her with our child's life.  She comes ten minutes early every day and has never missed a day.  It really must have been two bad breaks in one week, and I'm really glad we didn't make a rash judgement.  It will become obvious to you very quickly if she is a flake.  I would give her a pass on this.[/quote]
