Nursery World - Broken promises

It sounded like the perfect way to earn some extra money while holidaying abroad, as a nanny tells her own story I met Mandy about a year ago. She was an outgoing, chatty nanny with a dry sense of humour. We got on well and often went out on day trips and to play groups with our charges. She'd found a new job caring for a two-year-old girl, Jasmine, with which she got a flat to live in. A few months later the mother, Cheryl, had her second child, Aaron.

One afternoon Mandy told me they were all going on a family holiday to Gozo, Malta, for a month and needed a second nanny. Would I be interested? I said that it sounded good, and I'd like to meet the children's mother.
