It is every employer’s duty to secure a back-up childcare plan because life is always happening & not always favorable to us.
My philosophy:
ALWAYS always have a Plan B in place.
If you do not, then you only have yourself to blame if things fall apart later on.
The MB should have had a backup plan in place since day one.
Cars crash, break down, etc.
People fall ill all the time.
Even our pets.
Natural disasters occur.
Houses catch fire, criminals break in cars/homes/businesses, etc.
Life is always unpredictable.
If your life is that unpredictable you should not be a child care provider. Someone is relying on you so they can maintain their job. If they lose their job because you are not reliable, then you lose your job. Back up care is very hard in less you have a friend or family member or very costly. A lot of nannies seem to think their bosses are their friends when they are not.

Hold up, so you’ve NEVER missed work? Never been sick? Never had car trouble? Never had a cold?
No. Never missed the FIRST WEEK of work or my employers FIRST DAY back to work.
I have no clue why this is so hard for you to understand. You should have handled your transportation issues yourself and not involved your new employer.

In the future you should drop your car off on sunday, and manage the work day via uber or borrowing your employer’s car.
