:(:(
I work one evening a week. A neighbours 18yr old babysits for me every week. She is a nice girl, friendly, the kids like her. She is not brilliant at getting them to bed but I can live with that for one night.
I have noticed though that a few little things are going missing, perfume, make up, few pounds out of DD1's purse.
At first I didn't think anything of it. But it is starting to stack up. The day after she has gone, I notice the odd little thing missing and not found after a good search.
One was my best perfume, a large expensive bottle (£50) :(
I mentioned it to her by the way, saying perfume and some make up had gone missing, and had she seen it when she put the girls to bed. She shrugged and said she'd look around for them.
I am pretty sure its her. Had a word with a friend of mine (who is also friendly with neighbour), and apparantly this was an issue at her grandmother's and caused some family fall out.
What to do? It will be my word against hers if I talk to her mum and may create some bad feeling. I have a new babysitter lined up, do I tell her why I don't want her back.
Actually I feel sorry for her, lots of issues with her mum and dad (divorced) and her stepdad. Troubled girl I suspect. But I can't have a thief in my house looking after my children can I.
