    Interviewed Elyssa and spent time contacting her references. Offered her the job and tried to schedule a time for her to come to the house, meet my daughter and complete the paperwork (hours paid through agency). She did not have any time over a 2 week time period to do this. I finally expressed concern about how was she going to work/care for my daughter if she didn't have any time to complete the paperwork. I did not receive a response. I also have a friend that recently hired her directly to watch her daughter on a Saturday night. Elyssa called out with little notice. Very frustrating.
