[quote=Anonymous]A family I babysit for on occasion (about every 2-3 wks.), has told me they will no longer be calling me to babysit.
This after five years!!

Last Friday night, I was scheduled to babysit 4-9:30PM.
Then at 9, the MB texted me and asked if I could spend the night.
She is recently single and has a new “friend” that she wanted to spend the night with.
I didn’t have my toothbrush, P.J.s, etc. and had to work early the next morning at 8:45AM.
She acknowledged it was spur of the moment and promised me she would pay me good money if I stayed until 8AM the next morning.

Well I really needed the ca$h since my car had just broken down.
I stayed until 8AM the next morning, but she still had not arrived.
I had to work so I had to leave and she said she was on her way home so it was okay and she would send me a check.
I agreed and she ended up sending me fifty dollar$ for 10PM (when child went to sleep) - 8AM when I had to leave.
I texted her that even though I do charge flat rates for overnights, five dollars an hr. is not “good money” in my opinion and requested that they no longer ask me to do overnights again.

Then she told me that they won’t be using me anymore.

It’s not about losing income.....
It is about not burning bridges with my clients.
I have to stand up for myself because no one else ever will.[/quote]
