I'm trying to employ a nanny. Found a candidate that seemed pretty much ideal. Started her on a 2 week trial period as although she had previous experience in a nursery and child minder's assistant she hadn't worked as a nanny. Also my DD, being a lockdown baby, is not very used to strangers.
Trial went well. I was very happy with her. She was beginning to bond with DD. She raised no issues at the end of the last trial day and we made some plans for half term activities.
Due to come back on Tuesday. Monday evening I got a text saying that she was sorry but the job wasn't working for her and she would not be coming back. No further reasons given.
I've messaged her saying I would like to understand what went wrong and asking if we could have a chat. She said that she would call me but never did. I don't want to harass her but would really like an explanation. This has caused me real problems with my planned return to work and I'm truly upset.
WIBU to push her for a reason? Obviously I've got to start again in my childcare search and if it is something that we have done wrong that makes her feel she doesn't want to work for us then I'd like to know before I go about hiring someone again.
