Hi all,
I have been minding since March and at the moment am term time only - the 2 babies i look after have mums that are teachers and my after school one is with me two days after school as his mum has college. I checked before the holidays with all my parents just to confirm that they need no care during the holidays. None did.
Anyway, a couple of weeks into the holidays at 8:00 on a sunday evening, my afterschoolers mum phoned and asked if I could look after him for the next 2 days and then the same 2 days the following week. I was unable to do the following day due to short notice (and out of principle really!) but agreed to do the 3 other days. We also agreed to a time of 08:00 - 17:30 each day (I have this in writing too).
Anyway (sorry this is longer than i thought!). On the first day, she brings him at 8:40, no mention of his lateness, the second day she brings him at 9:10 (still no mention of lateness), the 3rd day, when it got to 10:20 I text her to confirm that he was still coming and she called me laughing at how lazy she was feeling!!!!!! She then arrived at 10:40!!!!!! :angry:
How rude are some people! I get paid for the hours she asked for so that is not the problem, but I am always out of bed and ready at the correct time.
On top of that I text her yesterday morning to check that she still needs childcare for next week when the children are back at school and to ask where i have to pick her child up from as he will have changed classes but as yet have had no reply.
Useless!!!!
Thanks for listening lol
