If she is taking a zumba class and go straight to swim nope.


Nobody goes from Zumba straight to swim.

Sounds like you dodge a bullet OP


Nobody? I DO. And Sometimes I do steam room and go straight to swim. It's my gym relaxing time. No phones near me!. Ohhh and I am not the OP. I'm also a nanny who loves my free times without phones around me at the gym.

OP's story keeps changing to paint her in a better light.

The mom cancelled last minute...then oh! look! The mom cancelled TWICE last minute. Then look! the mom cancelled twice in ONE WEEK last minute. Sure, OP....

OP here. I was going to babysit for her that evening. And her text was only a good morning GIF. It wasn't a message asking if we're still okay? And her last babysitter smoked in her house, so I think she called that crazy person back! This is the second time she's canceled on me the same day. I don't check my phone every 2 hours. I'm not like that.


All understandable. Then maybe babysitting for her is not the direction your neighbor-relationship should go in.

Just don't accept any more jobs from her. Problem solved.

We don't know the entire story. She could have had several babysitters flake on her, YOU could have flaked on her, she may have wanted to shift the time, etc.

Plenty of unknown factors. But sure, post about someone being 'crazy' on an anonymous forum. Feel better?


op here. Canceling on me twice in one week is crazy. that's just not cool.

Sounds like you two would never be compatible. Be glad you didn’t get more involved with something like this.

I was all set to babysit for my neighbor, who is a nurse. We confirmed on Thursday. Great. Today she sent me a good morning text at 10 am. I didn't respond because I was at the gym with my kids. Less than 2 hours later, she said she booked someone else because she wasn't sure if I was available.
