I highly advise not hiring elite nannies for your childcare needs. They have a cute website ( http://www.elite-nannies.com/index.html) and seem to be a legitimate business but my experience has been that Elite Nannies is nothing else than a one woman show (Cheryl).
That's not however the major problem with elite nannies. The reason I'm writing this review is because Cheryl after watching over my daughter for 2 days while I had an important business engagement in the Pittsburgh area, scared the s...t out of me when she mentioned "jokingly" that she "could have kidnapped her" that is my daughter. She also mentioned that she could have taken my daughter to "her house to see her son"...God forbid what she means by that. Why you ask would she state something so stupid and evil? She was trying to strong arm me into paying her a large tip after she inflated the cost for her service ($ 17 an hour, plus a $ 78 company fee and since she is the business then it's her money, plus valet parking fee at my hotel)...She also ordered herself dinner from my hotel room...Just for the record, I paid all of the above, but she managed to inflate the total cost by $50 dollars and that's when I got my calculator and set it straight...
She also strikes me as a compulsive liar who suffers from delusion of grandeur. No mother should have to go through the anxiety and horror of hearing a "nanny" state that they could have kidnapped your kid...If you are like me, your child is your most precious possession in this world and the basic requirement of nannies is to be gentle and trustworthy.
p.s. I will add that she did take my daughter around town to the museum and gave her a good time. But my last exchange with her negates all of that: those were words that should never have come out of her mouth or anyone's mouth. read more
