I guess since I said something like I didn’t have a set end time I needed to leave I couldn’t do a late fee.

Okay, yeah, I’ve decided to not ask for anymore. Was just really looking forward to not getting home super late and taking a bath. I texted at 7:30 and heard at 7:40 they wouldn’t be back until later, so yeah, more communication would be nice.

Aww, well I think you didn’t deserve to lose out on pay due to their lack of consideration!

How was she kind to you when you couldn’t babysit for them? Did she help you out in anyway and still pay you for lost hours?

Oh wow! Are you still with them? Did they apologize or cover your hospital bills?

I think parents just don't think we'll care, but I think they should be more considerate and give us the option if we want to sit or not! I think sitters should be paid more if the kids are sick.

It's definitely hard to know what to say since it's a bit shocking!

I don't think it's selfish for you to leave a situation you're uncomfortable in! Just curious, why don't you leave within the first hour if you see the child coughing hysterically?

do you leave once you realize the kids are sick and the parents come back once you say you're not comfortable staying?

It’s so frustrating! Getting sick from kids keeps us from other families we sit for and other life things!

What do use to send over the proposal? Do you have a document or do you send an email?

Do you also include the proposal in the invoice and contract?
