Hi all, I look after a Polish girl (2Yr 3m), just 3 hours a day in the afternoon. I was friendly with mum before I started cm her daughter and I have really helped the family out so much over the last few months, things like helping them with applying for tax credits, helping mum apply for jobs online, re-writing her Cv for her, working bank holidays last minute, sorting out a mechanic when their car broke down and providing a taxi service so they could get to work etc etc get the picture, above and beyond the call of duty but its my nature to help out. Also, obviously providing a caring and safe environment for her daughter which goes without saying.
Anyway, she turned up today and totally out of the blue gave notice as she wants to put her daughter into a nursery. It isn't any reflection on me at all, she just wants her daughter to interact with more children and thinks nursery is best for her (I only have my daughter and a 6 month old baby, I do take her to a group once a week but afternoon groups are limited). Now I understand completely and if she feels this is best, well that is the most important thing. The thing that is really getting to me is that its a month before xmas and I feel like she has totally dropped me right in it. After all that I have done for them I just feel completely miffed. Would you feel like this as well, I know its just one of those things and it happens to us all, but I just feel abit deflated and I am panicking about money now XX
