I had a potential MB from care.com flake on the scheduled interview and never call me. Then, about two weeks later, without ever having met me or run a background check on me or even seen my references, she called and asked if I could pick up her son at school and the teacher would tell me which one he was. She asked me to take him to her house (which I had never been to) and find the key under the mat and make him something to eat and give him a bath. Of course I said NO.

This MB is so out-there that if it didn't happen to me and I just read about it, I would think the poster was a troll.

I believe OP is real and not a troll. Just a feeling.

This post is legit. I was walking in downtown Silver Spring when the storm broke out. The street alarms that only go off during public emergency were triggered. It was really crazy for a while, high winds and raging thunderstorm.

As for the shower thing, that does seem like a troll who is getting the better of the posters who keep feeding into that ridiculous post with anger and outrage. Maybe try starving the beast?

However, the post you are referring to was about horror stories. The nanny was not left in the rain, s
he was left waiting outside while the MB finished a phone call. She did not have the interview because she left after ten minutes of waiting.

Good points.

OK so what's your point? There's not one but two trolls on this thread?

Wasn't there a thread on the main forum explaining what a troll is? Please look it up.

Websters 3rd Ed. NOUN, "a person who makes up a story simply for the purpose of inciting acrimonious discussion". See OP above. TIA.

Someone who responds, "Good points" in agreement, is NOT a troll, FYI.

How old are you? 12? 15th? Can't be older than 23.

Sweet. Thank you.

I probably would have responded to her call that I had to "gather up my senses" and get the hell out of there ASAP.

You most definitely dodged a bullet there OP. No wonder her other Nanny left her.

I bet her story was made up and the other Nanny left her because she is crazy.

This was MB bait. Someone is having fun at MBs expense today.

That post was about someone kept waiting past her interview time, and MB never came back in to ten minutes she waited. She left without ever talking to the MB who had closed the door in her face.

Um, no. There was a post awhile back (more than two weeks) about a nanny left waiting on the doorstep in the rain (for some strange reason, MB was on the phone, something like that) and when MB did arrive at the door, did not apologize or offer a towel (not a shower, buttheads). Almost verbatim. OP is either trolling or theres some crazy lady out there who like to set up interviews with nannies on rainy days and then make them wait outside for 10-15 mins. Consider they way it is around here, both scenarios are equally likely.

LOL!!!

+1

+2.

Lately, most of the posts here are over the top trolling posts that either paint MBs as evil or inflate rates. What's going on? Has this place been invaded by the crazy NCT fools?

+3! What is going on!?
