I was in love with these babies, and have thought about them, and prayed for the family every day, since I quit. I am a Christian and did the best I could with the instructions that were given. I actually stopped working for the family (they DID NOT fire me) because they changed their minds so often about what the expectations were, that I didn't feel I could in good faith, keep up. The routine changed daily. When I said I couldn't work anymore for the family, I asked if Mrs. S. would give me a good reference and she assured me (in writing!) that she would. The actual day that I said I couldn't continue working for them, I received a text message asking me to reconsider and work some hours the next day. I declined, and haven't heard from them since, until today when, I saw this review. I don't think this is a "Good Reference", it's also not an honest one. Too bad, as a caregiver, I am not allowed to submit a review, I'd have to tell anyone looking for work, that there are better situations available.
In answer to the review, allow me to add the following;
Mr. S. had told me to let the smaller baby sleep in his swing if he was happy there, and when Mrs. S. asked me to stop, I did, the same evening. No problem. (Mr. and Mrs. S. regularly gave differing instructions.)
I had no idea about the Tylenol issue and although I probably did say it couldn't hurt, I would never have given it without permission, there certainly was no reason to hide it from me!
I wasn't aware of Mrs. S.'s fear of tap water, and did tell her that I thought it had been what was used, but I don't care one way or the other.
I am mortified that Mrs. S. has accused me of calling her babies any foul names. It didn't happen. I wouldn't. I would never call any child anything that wasn't meant as an endearment.
I am a seasoned caregiver, and I do have many references who would completely disagree with the S. family's review of me. As a matter of fact, I have never before even had a complaint about my care in over 20 years.
