[quote=Anonymous]I am in a somewhat similar situation. I have a main family I watch all year long and then I do a share  with two additional families 1/wk. my main nf knows about it and doesn’t care. Occasionally family b or c will ask for hours outside of the weekly arrangement. They do this with the understanding that my main family is the priority- if main charges are sick, snow day, off school, they are the ones I go with because they provide a stable income. My main nf has right of first refusal just like I have right of first refusal with gigs with them. The other two families don’t need me throughout the whole year or even the same number of hours per week.  If I am unavailable, family C will call other sitters. For example, the share is from 9-1 on Thursdays. I stay until 3:30 for family C. If family C has an afternoon game/event another sitter comes to relieve me. Family C asks for extra hours (outside of Thursdays) maybe one or twice a week. About 50% of the time, I have to say no. They are free to go with another sitter for any and all hours. I’m sure it is a bit of a pain for them, but they knows about my main job when recruiting me and just generally that is the nature of extremely sporadic childcare needs[/quote]
