[quote=Anonymous]So, I work 4 days per week in a nanny share. I have business obligations that I tend to on my off days and don’t typically know if I’m needed on-site until a few days prior, so scheduling things way in advance is not an option for me. Now I have medical related appointments that I may or may not have to have on a weekly basis. The next month is already scheduled for every Wednesday. So, I have requested to drop this day because I know both families always work on the other days.

Family one is flexible and it seems to not be an issue for them but because the other family needs more flexibility, it’s become a problem. I spoke to the mom (with the problem) today and she mentioned and I quote “I have weekly appointments and also may need to work more on that day.” I have no idea what her appointments are for and it’s really none of my business and not to say it’s not important but they are aware of why I need to attend these appointments and how it’s a priority-doctors orders. She also mentioned not having family in the area and me being their family and that she doesn’t know about having another person take care of her daughter, whom will be 3 in May. She talked about her daughter having anxiety, which, is understood, however, she will more than likely be attending school this fall so what do you think she’s going to be like when she’s not with me all day? I see hair appointments for 4 hours on the calendar etc. and I’m like I’m not going to miss an appointment or not handle my business so you can go get your hair done or so you can attend your own personal appointments. If she was actually going to work I could be sympathetic.

I’m not asking any questions here more like a vent but feel free to chime in with your thoughts or how you would handle this situation.  I feel like because it’s temporary, if you want to retain me in the long run, you would work it out. You have more than a months notice and now you’re putting the share in this awkward place becuse your really thinking about yourself. Tons of family have additional caregivers or have Full-Time and part time nannies. You are adding stress to a case that’s already stressful not knowing what the outcome will be with my situation. FYI I am not at all disabled and am physically capable of caring for the children.
