About Karianne

Reviewed on 10/23/2023

Really disappointed in having to leave this review. We have worked with Kerrianne for over a year now and up until this point have really only dealt with minor inconveniences. Kerrianne lived very close to our home which seemed like it would work to our benefit at the time, but we often, nearly always could not rely on her promptness with picking our kids up or arriving by the time that was agreed. On a few occasions, I would also be taken off guard to find that she had brought our boys to a park that is not local to us, meaning she drove them far and to an area we are not familiar with. This likely would have been fine if she had just communicated it, but I hate not knowing a general idea of where my kids are at all times, especially when they are traveling in another person's vehicle. I also found frustration in her lack of attentiveness to our boys schedules. She would sometimes text when she would feed them or put them down for a nap and it would often be completely off the time I requested to keep them on schedule. These were all minor details that we could look past up until recently when on at least 3 occasions, Kerrianne would just cancel on us the evening before she was scheduled to watch our kids. My husband and I both have serious jobs/careers and no local family to lean on, this was incredibly frustrating and put our jobs on the line, not to mention the embarrassment of having to explain things to our bosses. Kerrianne also showed up nearly 1 HOUR late to pick up our son from school which is honestly terrifying! She claimed it was due to traffic but there is literally no way, she clearly forgot and scrambled to get all the way across town. I even made a point to text her prior to pick up to ensure she was headed that way and she ignored my texts until finally replying when she should have been at the school by that time. She also failed to have her Drivers License on her which as someone in childcare, driving another person's child around, seems crazy to me. She had no way of proving her identity to our school at pickup. Kerrianne also would reasure us that we didn't have to worry about a schedule conflict only to text us again a few hours later to say she was actively leaving the state to visit family and we could no longer use her that following day. She had no care or regard at all for the inconvenience she was causing us nor the panic in trying to find alternate care so last minute. The last straw has been taxes. We have invested THOUSANDS of dollars into Kerrianne as a frequent sitter for our children, all of which we should be able to claim in our taxes - especially in this economy. Kerrianne refuses to provide us with the proper information to do so, even as far as officially ignoring all of our attempts to communicate with her, and so we will receive no tax break for 2022 or 2023. $100's of dollars lost all because she apparently doesn't want to pay her own taxes - although was able to purchase a brand new vehicle while working for us. To anyone interested in a long-term childcare need, I do not recommend Kerianne and would highly recommend you find someone more considerate and willing to see their income as a legitimate career rather than a hobby to avoid taxes.
