[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had the worst luck with part time sitters but thought I finally found someone good for the one day a week I really need it most because my kids have different activities at the same time in different directions. She works for me on Tuesdays and started with us at the beginning of September. She worked 2 Tuesdays and all was good, and has now called out the last 2 Tuesdays in a row at the last minute which left me scrambling. When we hired her I told her I would pay her every Tuesday for the entire school year even if I didn’t need her because the class was canceled or it was a holiday/break. I didn’t pay her for the last 2 weeks when she cancelled and she texted tonight to ask if I am still paying her for the past 2 weeks since she didn’t receive payment. I was pretty shocked but what does everyone think, should I pay her? I feel like it sets a bad precedent for her cancelling on me whenever she feels like it and truly am not even confident this will last.[/quote]

It's part time and unless you are paying well over par, what did you be expect?  If you want her to be available then you make the proverbial offer she can't refuse. You pay extremely well, like $30/hr,![/quote]
