Emailing Nanny Agencies - How quickly would you expect a reply?

[nannynick]

I e-mailed a local agency on Sunday evening. It's now Thursday evening, and still no reply.

I might pretend to be a parent, and email and see if I get a faster response

I expect an immediate reply and I am constantly disappointed. IME nanny agencies come and go like, well things that come an go very fast. Some, however are better than others so keep trying. Wishing you luck,

nanny nick....they are a nightmare! i have signed up with several that all claim to be original in the sense that "we always return phonecalls and emails"...what a load of twaddle! i left a message at an agency 12 days ago saying it was quite important they call me back,i called them back today only to be told,oh yes,you was next on my list of people to phone! yeah righto!!! being nosey,ru looking for a job ??
