I have a family who just called and said they are no longer interested in my care. They not only don't want to pay their last two weeks, but are asking for their deposit back! They told me that they have a recording of me putting their one year old in time out and that they'll report me if I don't give them the deposit back. Obviously this can't be legal! I just dealt with a crazy family a few months ago, who reported me to licensing to get out of paying their last week. Licensing saw through it but I don't want to deal with it all again! I've already put a call in to them and am waiting to hear back. The current family definitely babied their little one and I am more strict, but obviously didn't do anything harmful. (Also, to note, I just started the time outs this week and they were totally working!). Any advice? It freaks me out that they might call the news or something crazy.
Thanks
I am going to follow this thread because I had a client laughingly mention how cheap nanny cams are and how easy they were to hide nowadays. Ironically she brought in a stuffed bear that day but I sent it back home quickly as I do not allow outside toys. Kind of made me leery!
