[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She demanded pay for 45 hours while only working 30 (a week). [/quote]

While, indeed, the rest sounds horrible... yes, you are indeed required to pay your AP for 45 hours/week ($195.75) no matter if she works 45, 30, 20 or 5 hours that week. You cannot prorate just because you ask them to work less. She might have been a horrible AP but only paying your AP $130.50 for working 30 hours instead of the (flat rate!) $195.75 makes you a crappy host parent.

Jumping into the shower without your baby makes you a less than stellar parent, in my eyes... But I guess whatever rocks your boat. Taking a baby to the ER after getting burned with hot liquids should also be the norm rather than an exception. Your 6yo caused the burns. AP is not a nurse. Yes, not putting cold water on it (or actually... no, don't... warm water is much butter on a mild burn, cold water can restrict perfusion and lead to cold-induced vasoconstriction which can favor burn progression) might not have been the smartest. But if your baby gets hurt while you are around you take the baby into the shower with you. You don't expect your babysitter to do it. Your baby.

(Also, don't match with a 3rd world country AP and complain if the stay in the US illegally after their year is up. Also? Not your problem. Agency's problem, yes. But not yours.)

You might have had a bad AP but I am happy I wasn't her. I don't think I would have lasted a year with you.[/quote]
