| Rocio came to our home in California from Mexico on February 16, 2007. In which we paid half of her flight to get here. She was to stay for 24 months to help us with our four girls. During the time she was here, she had full access to the computer/internet, cell phone (paid for by us) and cable TV. She gave me notice on or about March 12th 2007 to tell me that she was unable to stay, that her husband wanted her home. I asked her to be honest with me and to tell me the truth, if it was something we did. She insisted on telling me it was because her husband wanted her home.
On Saturday, April 21st, I get a call from a gentleman in Texas wanting a reference on Rocio. She apparently was looking to get hired as a nanny in Texas. I gave him my honest opionion of her and told him I completely trusted her as a nanny for my children, she was a very clean, responsible person of whom i completely trusted. I then get a phone call on Sunday, April 22, from US Customs. I was not home to receive this call, so they left me a message stating to call back regarding Rocio Sierra. The next day (today) I call customs back and the officer I needed to speak with was unavailable. During the time I was waiting for the phone call back from the officer, I decided to do some research from work.
I knew that Customs was calling from an airport in Houston, which now rang a bell with the man that called me from Texas on Saturday. I then thought I would check my cell phone bill to see if she had been calling this gentleman while at my house. And indeed, she was!!! 6-phone calls to Texas! I feel very angry because I was lied to. My babysitting situation was up in the air, I had no one in mind and as you probably know, it's a long process to look for someone new. This all caused my job to be in jeapordy. She used my cell phone to look for another job, during the day when she was supposed to be watching my kids.
I would have felt better if she would have just been honest with me from the begining. If she was dishonest about this, such a minor thing if she would have been up front with me, the what else was she not honest about? I have a two and three year old that was at home with her during the day, that can't really tell me what was going on, if there was.
Thanks,
