[quote=Anonymous]We have a woman come to sit/nanny for our kids a few mornings a week.  Monday and Wednesdays from 9-2 are standard, and then we also ask her to sit for some things that fall outside of that time.  She nannies 5 days/week for another family (6:30-8:30 am and then 3-6 pm).  My kids love her and she's been with us for about 2 years.

However, lately she has been saying she can sit, and then changes her mind/says the other family needs her at the last minute.  While once in a while I understand if her other charges are sick or something comes up, it has happened a lot over the last month or two.  The latest is my OB apt tomorrow-it's the glucose test.  I always tell her when I make a new apt, so she's had a 4 week notice.  Yesterday she told me she needs to leave at 11:30, so I move my apt earlier.  Now she just texts me that she needs to leave at 11 because one of the charges is staying home.  I told her I cannot promise to be home at 11 due to the length of the apt and drive time, etc.  I am frustrated as this is becoming an issue, and I feel like we are the family who is always having to compromise.  Am I wrong?
