[quote=Anonymous]Yesterday our afterschool sitter quit with no notice. Via text. She has been incredibly unreliable for the past couple of months--calling in sick, scheduling job interviews (she's a school counselor!), but had promised us she could stick it out until mid May, when we have a summer sitter lined up. Then we get the text that she's got some "health issues" she needs to focus on and needs to do what's right for her.

This is our second college-educated 20-something nanny/sitter who has quit abruptly BY TEXT. We pay well, guarantee hours, pay for sick leave, you name it. I understand this may not be their chosen life's work, but it's a job, and a commitment they made, and it's still not o.k. to just bail when they feel like it. I have had plenty of wage slave jobs in my life, including baby sitting, working retail, hell, even working in a barn shoveling manure, for heaven's sake, and NEVER in my life have I quit with no notice the day I was due to show up for work.

I don't feel like it's fair to ask professional nannies to do afterschool work, because they need the hours of a fulltime job. What on earth do people do to find someone reliable for the after school hours??[/quote]
