Hi there i dont know if ive posted in correct thread?
I will try explain what has happened in the simplest way i can and sorry if it really long its complicated!
I have looked after 2 children,1 for 15 months the other for 9 months
All has been fine and rosey until due to me hurting my back i have had to ring parents and advise i have been given a 2week sicknote and waiting for an mri scan and will keep them informed,that surely is all i was required to do?
The next day (been off 1 day only) i had 20+ texts from the 2 parents with their problems/what are we going to do etc? whilst i sympathize what can i do?
One stuck 4weeks notice through my door on day 2 off me been off sick and has but child A in a nursery,later that night i recieved a text that wasnt meant for me saying im been a pain in the
,I then rang and said oops that wasnt meant for me was it? can you explain what you meant by that!
She just said sorry but i cant do with you been off so i want to end contract,told her fair enough but she owes me the 4weeks(so far shes not paid it)
Then i rang the other parent B that was harrassing me by text and said i understand her difficult position but there is nothing I can do about the situation,She kept banging on about notice etc and i calmly said it cant be given whilst im on sick leave,IF and when the tests come back bad i will gladly agree to mutually end contracts(I'm not unreasonable am i?)
I heard nothing back until yesterday i recieved a recorded letter with 2 copies of a document she herself had drafted to end contracts now she asked me to sign one & put in sae to send one back to her! I simply cannot believe my eyes
I feel as though i am being backed into a corner here to just end contracts cos it aint worth the
stress but on the other hand she signed and agreed to the contract.
How many weeks can a childminder be off sick before parents have a right to terminate?
I have rang ncma but nobody has bothered to get back to me!
I am really thinking of sacking the
lot,
Are we childminders just like old hoovers that get thrown out when we dont/cant work anymore?!
Ohh and after all this time have I had one call,text or visit to see how im doing...no have i
Please help/advise if you can Thanks XXX
