A horrible person has left the household and we are all thrilled.
We engaged a Mary Poppins type, via an agency, in Oct.
Great interview. 2 references checked out well. Well ine was a little guarded… Was congratulating self on smooth transition from outgoing M Poppins to new but oh! how wrong we were.
She commenced mid December and was Nanny McPhee (the fierce, ugly version), Qu
Mrs Danvers and Dot Cotton all rolled into one.
She was lugubrious, dour, loud, bossy, graceless, grim and talked at every opportunity about bodily functions – see accompanying pic – to a grotesque level and in front of all family members. She was judgmental about all, even in speaking to and about the family pets.
…. UGH. I shudder with relief that she abruptly resigned this week and removed herself citing that she felt she had been treated as a “lesser person” and a “Maid”.
So much for our chummy chats about WW then – which we both joined in New Year. So much for the Christmas fruitcake we gave her, the sausage rolls and 2 bottles of wine. Meanwhile we are a great deal of money down in recruitment fee and Agency refusing to refund. I feel a stinking review on social media coming on….
