Hi everyone,
What a day I have had and I only look after one mindee at the mo.
I was due to have mindee today 8am to 4.30pm thats was fine, then parent phoned to say she had slept in but would be along shortly. So 8.40am arrived and so did mindee, mum was in a hurry to get to work so she practically thew him at me (he is 11mths) with a bottle of milk and a jar of porridge.
When I got him settled and comforted him I realised he still had his jammies on and his nappy was soaking along with his babygrow, he has not been well over christmas with a chest infection and is still recovering so after cleaning him up and dressing him he then went on to havea cough and projectile vomit all morning.
Around lunchtime I started to get a little worried and phoned parent, but she gave me the brush off and said he was up through the night and he was just grumpy.
Dad picked him up and he seemed to be slightly more interested in his son's health and wellbeing but made it clear you are getting paid for it.
I am ranting a bit and do feel better telling someone but I felt I was put in quite an awkward position. Its not the first time the mindee has arrived in his jammies but he was clearly very unwell today.
I feel because I charge for the mindee if he is off sick, parents decided to send him and beacuse I have no other mindee at the moment they took advantage of that fact.
Starting to feel better now that I have a cup of tea and this forum.
Thanks
Alak xx
