Fantastic reliable after school nanny

Tina was our after school nanny. We needed cover for the after school pick up until we finished work and our daughter couldn't have been in better hands.
Tina was always punctual and reliable. She took our daughter to after school activities, the park or library and kept her entertained each afternoon. She helped make our daughters dinner which was a huge help and also some evening babysitting.
Tina would always message us if she had any questions or concerns while looking after our daughter and was prompt to reply if we needed to communicate with her. We never had any worries and knew our daughter was safe under Tina's care

My kids love Tina!

Tina has been helping me with my 3 children since my twins were born prematurely in 2020. She has given me support and has been very helpful. She is honest, reliable and punctual. One of my twins has disabilities and and she is very kind, caring and patient with her. Prior to Tina I had never left my children with anyone other than family, but she feels like family now. My children love her and even though we couldn’t see her as much as we had hoped though the pandemic my children remembered her as soon as she was back. She is really lovely and she is capable of looking after 3 very energetic children so she deserves 5 stars!! Ps she prepares amazing food for the kids (and sometimes leave us a surprise in the oven for our dinner) I highly recommend! :)

Precious help

Tina has always been a reliable person and I mean it as it is always difficult to find someone we can rely on. Punctual, flexible, attentive and caring, Tina has been a wonderful help for our family and full of ressources. Thank you to her.

Very reliable

We have found Tina to be very reliable, punctual and flexible during her time looking after our 2 children. She is firm but fair and enjoys playing with the children and making them laugh. She has excellent time management skills, always leaving the house spotless. She is a safe pair of hands who clearly enjoys her job.

Worse experience

Tina has been such a waste of time for our family.
Came to the interview and was offered the position, she accepted it.
Came to the nursery to be introduced and finally one week prior her start date (when I am due to come back to work) she sent me a text saying that she did not wanted the position anymore. I guess a phone call would have been too much..

Response by TinyTee on 14/10/2018:

Having been informed of this review by my employer's & without my prior knowledge it had existed I felt under the circumstances that I needed to clarify a few facts.. Throughout the years & of now I remain to be extremely honest & reliable whereas my written references will clarify.. May I say that I was offered the job at the interview with this family provisionally & it was arranged to meet the following day & not one week later as stated to see the nursery location, whilst I had received this information sent via text the day after my interview & not given the address to the nursery prior.... Upon looking up the nursery location that morning it appeared extremely far but as I had arranged to go that afternoon to meet the parent I thought it was only right to attend. I took 2 buses & walked a further 15 minutes to reach the nursery
destination total travel just over 1 hour, once there I realised this position with the family was not for myself & mentioned to the parent that I will need to consider further due to the travelling, she explained that she intended to go back to work the following week to my surprise as this was not mentioned at our initial interview the day prior, I actually started to feel pressured & whilst I was asked to accompany her back to her home I declined. I personally feel that any person's the employer or employee should have the right to decline a position if they are not 100% happy especially if a contract has not been signed.
The following day early morning I telephoned & got no reply from the mother & therefore I left a polite message explaining my overall concerns along with stating that I would not be taking the position offered & wished her well.
I received hour's later a very disturbing text message on my mobile whereas I actually contacted childcare via email.
Please note under no circumstances was it my intention to reply to this negative comment but as I am a long standing member with excellent references behind me I felt it extremely necessary.
