Irene did not show up for a scheduled interview and did not reach out to cancel. I interviewed Irene over the phone and the responses were inline with modern child development recommendations. Irene seemed knowledgeable, experienced and professional. We set up a in person interview at my home, I texted 24 hours prior to the interview and Irene confirmed the time. Irene did not show up or contact me to cancel. Irene then ignored 2 communication attempts in the week since missing the interview.
