Nanny starting next week and not answering messages. Should I panic?

You all kindly gave me some help when my nanny resigned and I found a lovely lady to take her place. We had a settling in session where she played with the children and everything went well, and she said she'd keep me updated on Ofsted registration etc (I've offered to pay for the first aid course). I thought we'd organised another settling in day, but after a brief discussion by text, she hadn't realised and her DS was ill so it didn't happen.

I sent her an email last week asking for bank details etc so I can get her set up for payment and whether she had made any progress with Ofsted because the voucher provider can be pretty slow. I haven't heard anything at all from her.

Am I being too demanding? Should I just leave it? I'm now getting a bit panicky that she's changed her mind and I'll have to find last minute emergency childcare next week... Is there anything I should do?

Is there a reason why you've not phoned her?

Definitely call her. Presumably she wants to get paid so she shouldn't mind the call!

do you have her phone number? I would call.
