    Paid for a year of nanny services, but their services seem to no longer be available. I am looking for a partial refund.

    We hired a nanny, paid all fees to Front Range Nannies and the nanny we selected texted me at 9:15pm on Sunday evening to say she wouldnt be able to start the next day and wasnt sure when she would be able to start at all. I didnt hear from her all week and decided we wouldnt be able to move forward with her as we really needed someone dependable. After speaking to *****, she was unwilling to refund the placement fee. She said the fee was non-refundable and that it was mentioned in the contract. Annoying, but okay, I understand that contracts are contracts. She offered to provide a partial refund of $287.50. That was in August. We have sent more than 5 emails and called twice with no response. While I doubt we will ever see that refund, I wanted to warn other parents before going forward with this company. Communication was very important to us and after being completely ghosted by *****, I would not recommend doing business with Front Range Nannies.She is now claiming she only owes us $187.50 and would put a check in the mail. We accepted the changed amount (not worth fighting anymore), but we have still not received any payment whatsoever.

    We have attempted to refund the money by issuing it back to the card that they were using and it did not go through. When it was brought to our attention that is didn't we attempted a few more times before moving sending them a check. This check was sent out on November 4th in the late afternoon to the confirmed address on file. We are happy to send them another check or have a check ready for them to pick up if they desire. We offered to not only place them with another nanny for few, but to allow them to use our backup care program until another nanny was placed. All of these services were above the package they the family originally paid for. We attempted to go above and beyond for the family even though they choose our basic package which doesn't offer any back up care of insurance of replacement in the event something were to happen. The nanny that they hired had a family emergency and couldn't start and was unsure of their new start time due to the events that happened. This has never happened to us and we tried to give them the care that they needed as best as we could. The family only tried to work with us for one week after this incident occurred, which didn't allow us the time to find them another match before requesting a refund. In our contracts that are signed by all parties before our services begin it clearly states no refunds will be given for any reason. Our agency provided them a service and the events that followed were beyond our control. After the events that followed we offered to give them a partial refund 50%. The family signed a contract for our gold short term package. However they only paid for our silver short term package which also was not discovered until a later date. (they must have been sent wrong invoice) The amount that was sent to them was $181.50. 

     

    We understand the events that happened were not the outcome that the family thought they would be getting nor did we want to provide them. However our time and dedication was given to them when they were searching, therefore our company and staff needs to be compensated fairly for the time that they did spend with the family. We want to send another apology out the them for the delays and events that have transpired and wish them the best of luck with their future.

    I am rejecting this response because: They are saying the charge was for their time finding a nanny. We paid IN FULL for that service and never requested a refund for that. We requested a refund for the PLACEMENT FEE of the nanny that texted me at 9:15pm on the Sunday before she was supposed to start on Monday. I did not hear from the nanny by Wednesday and when I reached out to her, she notified she wasn't sure when she could start. I needed a nanny to start on the day we agreed as I work full-time. The business notified me that they would NOT refund the placement fee, but offered a one-time exception of a partial refund. I accepted their offer for the partial refund and have still not received. 

    I do not believe a check has been sent. I am willing to accept a Venmo payment/PayPal/Zelle bank transfer or a check that is sent with a tracking number. Unfortunately, at this point I have no way to trust what is being said.



    Sincerely,
