Hi
Advice please
I have a lo four days a week, due today (inset tho lo is not at school yet) - didn't arrive, I called to check assuming overslept (it wouldn't be the first time) to be told, we didn't think you were having lo today, as children not back at school until tomorrow. I have a two week break at Xmas written into this ones contract but was expecting back today as I have always worked other school hols, insets in the past. So had an expected day off (would have had a lie in if I'd known sooner). I am paid in advance and although childcare voucher outstanding for Jan, balance has been paid.
Anyway, its come to light that someone else has had her, she is not registered, she does some cleaning and babysitting for the family - it has never bothered me before but this time she implied to mum that she had seen me and I'd said I wasn't back to work until the kids were back - not true - haven't seen her/spoken to her.
Mum is can be a ditsy like this - she has now in effect paid twice for childcare for today, Mum says she couldn't be happier with me but needed to go work today and didn't think I was working - told mum to check with me first in future.
I feel this lady is now actively encroaching on my business/income. Parents won't/can't use her full time due to use of childcare vouchers but she doesn't know that!
I am not usually one to report things but I am wondering if I should in this case. There are several people locally who could/would report her for this and earnings etc, so I wouldn't be the only 'suspect'.
What should I do,
Advice please
