NBC 5 Responds investigated complaints from parents and former employees who say Sweet Dreams Infant Care owes them thousands of dollars in refunds, wages, and double chargesA child care company that promised to rescue sleep-deprived families is facing accusations from parents and former employees of unpaid wages, owed refunds and double charges.

Kline, left confused by the call, said she didn't want a different night nurse and asked Ashton to cancel her contract and refund the remainder of her deposit. “And then through digging and through talking to people, we then realized that she wasn't paying her employees,” Kline said. Earlier this year, Griffin said Ashton stopped paying her nurses, leaving her to come up with the $3,900 that was owed.

“She's caused people to be behind on their rents, their car note, their mortgages. I know a 71-year-old lady that worked for her that she didn't pay,” Griffin said. Ashton agreed to do an interview with NBC 5 Responds on three separate occasions before canceling shortly before the scheduled interview each time.
