Testimonial for Veronica Hinojosa

Testimonial for Veronica Hinojosa_Stang

(continued from above) First, a little backround: We had Veronica in our home as our baby nurse for a total of 8 weeks. The beginning was nice, she helped us establish a routine and showed us things as new parents that were very helpful, she was knowledgeable and put together and helped me a lot with breast feeding. But very soon after she began taking advantage of our kindness and generosity and kind of railroading us on a lot of issues. It started with our food. She helped herself to all of our food all the time going through groceries and fresh produce faster than we could keep up. In her pitch to us she talked about how much she was going to take care of us postpartum and cook and clean for us too-she did very little of this in the beginning, she made me smoothies in the morning (but also as an excuse to make one for herself to go in OUR GLASSWARE WITHOUT ASKING- more on this later) & avocado toast maybe 3 or 4 times total, that was the extent of her “cooking” and then instead it just seemed like we were making her meals all the time/ordering her takeout. We were already paying a hefty $45 an hour for her round the clock-to not come to work with your own food/snack is unprofessional. Some nights we didn’t mind, but when she started expecting it every night and asking my husband to cook for her when he was just as exhausted as I was-remember we JUST HAD A BABY-it really started to bother us, we looked past it because we figured if she was showing love to our baby then it was all worth it. One night however, towards the end of our time together, we had ordered her Ramen, she came in to work and rather than take care of our baby right away she went straight to the kitchen & just took her sweet time eating! Who takes a 45 minute dinner break right when they start a shift? I asked her to come check on our baby and she just said “oh he’s fine” from the kitchen. (continued below)
