We’ve heard versions of this from nannies more than once: genuine hugs and gifts at the door, then a formal complaint to the agency weeks later. Not a contradiction, just a pattern most families and candidates never talk about.
This is exactly why a real vetting process can’t stop at “how did the last family feel about them.” It has to dig into what actually happened, not just what got said at the goodbye.
Nannies, has a warm goodbye ever not matched what came after? Parents, have you ever second-guessed a reference you gave? Tell us below. 👇
