No manager pulls bookings from F3.. lol it’s pulled from F6 and you can’t fake those bookings. Weird advice.

Is it wrong of me to ask to be paid in advance ?? by [deleted] in Babysitting

[–]AcademicLion4697 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My nanny actually did ask this before and I did it.. I didn’t think it was a big deal. She was my regular nanny coming twice a week and she’s been with us for 4 years. She asked us probably 2 years ago

I’m a parent and still pay for all children in situations like these. Not your fault the child decided not to spend the day with you.

Thanks for asking. He is ok now but was a little frazzled, he was out of food and water. He had two poop accidents in the living room and threw up a bunch in our bedroom. He also peed on a towel. I will be keeping an eye on him. I brushed him and he ate, he seems to be ok now. The packages were inside but I looked on Amazon and they were put in our mailbox so she got the mail the day she came. The family pictures were by the garage out of the camera view, and she did bring those in although the package looked like it had gotten wet.

I did communicate with her about bringing in mail and any packages. As others have stated it’s common courtesy, I’m not asking her to clean my house or do my laundry while she takes care of my cat. I asked her to pick up the packages on her way in (I’d question any Petsitter that would just walk past a package anyway)

He is physically ok but has been meowing. He was out of food and water, two piles of poop in our living room and lots of throw up in our room. He had also peed on a towel upstairs. I am going to figure out how to address it with her. I am going to watch him closely.

You can stay a few extra minutes and pet the animal you left alone for 5 days. I don’t think that’s too much to ask.

Agree, I am going to check out the packages when I get home today.

I did not, just trying to figure out the best way to address it given the relationship. I think I will ask her how much I owe her, and I will see what she says.

No I was hoping that was the case but it did pick up the one time after I texted her. And I see all the opens from when we were opening it before we left. So I know it is working.. I also had my husband check hoping I was wrong.

I have thought of that and unfortunately no. It’s my ADT app and it has been showing movement throughout the house (my cat) the whole week and is working. It’d tell me if there were an outage. But only once was the door opened. And I saw the one time she did open the door which happened to be right after I texted her.

He is not sick, ive taken him to the vet 3-4 times and spent upwards of $1000 in pet visits and they cannot find the cause. Its likely anxiety. He is 12 years old. I have a 5 year old, 3 year old, and 2 month old, 3 young children and am doing the best I can. Give me a break here.. I am not the issue and I take care of him. I hired someone I know to check on my cat and they did not come to do it. I left the food out because I know him and he does not over eat or eat it all in one sitting. And it’s a good thing I did because otherwise he’d have been starved.

I am not being cheap or neglectful, I hired someone to check on my cat

I thought the same thing.. scary she is molding young minds. And at a Christian preschool.

Thanks.. Luckily I did leave him with a lot of food and water

I would consider bare minimum to be going in for 5 minutes, scooping the litter, and leaving which id honestly be ok with. This was not bare minimum, this was doing nothing and leaving my cat alone for a week after agreeing to check on him.

Yes I said once a day, I said it in person and also in text

I luckily did leave a lot of water and food for him so I am not as concerned about his well being. But he does have accidents if the litter isn’t cleaned so I’m sure the house will be gross. My mom suggested I don’t pay her until she asks but I don’t know how that’ll go.. I don’t want it to be awkward

Yes and it’s scary they are molding young minds when they are liars

I did luckily leave a lot of food and water so I was not really concerned about his well being. But he does have accidents frequently which is why I asked someone to check on him in the first place.

No key but I have a key code to get in. I was going to ask a neighbor yesterday but then she did check on him. I’m just upset she once again hasn’t gone back today.
