[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op. What ever made you think thst your needs were more important than the needs. sants, desires of the parents?!?!  You are the hp, efho, a child of a lesser god.  Your only mission in life is to cater to your "betters."[/quote]

Oh brother.  As a fellow nanny, I have to say this attitude is absurd.  Nannying is a business transaction.  It's your job to make the product (your childcare services) as appealing as possible.  This includes offering excellent care, being on time, having a positive attitude, maintaining credentials and being flexible and reliable.  The more you appear to be these things, the more demand there will be for your services.  You don't have to do these, but these qualities are what determines your brand.  You get to decide whether you are the equivalent of fine dining or fast food and you will be paid accordingly.[/quote]

+1.  OP, I don't think either one of you was wrong necessarily.  This was a family that you had only just recently started with and based on the one experience weren't that happy with to begin with.  When the father asked you if you could work the next day, you gave a flaky "I might have some errands" response before saying yes and then turning right around and saying no.  I'm not saying you shouldn't be with your father - if your father needs you, I would have done the same thing.  But you can't really fault the family for thinking you're unreliable based on their limited interaction with you.  If it was so important to you to have that job, then you needed to have shown them that you are an excellent, reliable sitter.  You didn't do that, and they moved on.[/quote]
