[quote=Anonymous]I babysat today which turned out to be terrible. I was recommended to this family by a regular date night sitting family. They asked to make it a regular thing but no way I will agree to it. How do I let them down and keep the peace.

The reasons it was a terrible babysitting job

- I was supposed to care for 4 month old in home, or so I thought. I found out when I got there that I was going along with the mom and two toddlers to watch the baby. Not a big deal but I wush I knew this upfront. She said she told me but she didn't.

- She is an unsafe driver. She nearly ran to red lights and while driving done sides streets, pulled out into a main intersection with traffic on both sides, forcing other drives to blow their horns and break. She then decided to drive in the incoming traffic lane on a side street, and only moved because there was an incoming car.

- She laughed ( doesn't speak that well in English) about how a neighbor or stranger rang her doorbell to tell her she left her 4 month old sitting on their porch. He was out there for a good amount of time. She didn't notice because she was tending to the older children and he's quiet. This really mad me mad.

- She bought ready to feed formula because it's " convenient" but her baby hates it. We drive home to get it but she decides to drive to the next class to not be late, while he screams for almost 30 minutes.

- She bought pizza for much and the toddlers ( I had to sit in the back to feed them) threw all of the toppings everywhere. They made a huge mess which she thought was funny.

- We go to the zoo. I figured at least I can see some sights. She buys me a ticket but stuffs me in a room no bigger than a bathroom for 3 hours with the baby. She neglects to tell me it's a private breastfeeding room, which I felt terrible. She also neglects to tell me that the exhibit he room is in closes 30 minutes earlier than the zoo. I call to tell her and her phone is dead. It was dead for over an hour.

- The hours were 8 - 6. She tells me we will leave the zoo at 6 ( 45 minutes away from the city). I tell her I leave her place are 6, but the zoo. She should have asked for 8-7, not 8-6. She did drive me home which was nice.

It's not a good fit and I don't ever want to babysit for them again. How can I turn them down without upsetting my regular babysitting family?
