[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You may not think your unprofessional because the family agreed, OP, but you are, in fact, acting unprofessionally and the PP who mentioned it was doing you a favor by pointing that out. Most families would not hire someone who could not do the job and needed to subcontract to friends and cousins.[/quote]

Thanks for responding. I would absolutely understand if I were asked to sit on a certain date, said yes, then called the family and made up an excuse and asked if I could have my friend come over instead. This is not the case at all. I never contacted or sought this family out. They were referred to me by a mutual family who is friends with them and who I have provided occasional basis for on an as needed basis for 3 years. I have always been clear as stated before I even met them that I can't keep the schedule they need by myself. I asked the mutual family we both know to tell them that and if they were still interested to contact me. That's it, very simple. Yes, if this were any other situation or family, I'm sure they would not be okay with it. If they were so upset by me 'subcontracting', then on Sat/Sun evenings that they ask me to sit and me or my friend are not available, they would not ask me if I know any other sitters I can refer. You can think what you want, but I know what I'm doing.[/quote]
