I am a nanny to a little girl 4.5 one day a week

My 2 DDs, 16 & 19 do a lot of the extra babysitting that is often requested.

Last week boss asked if someone could do 8pm-2am this Saturday(tomorrow) DD19 said she would, but I told boss that dd would be booking the day off work, DD works at local cinema, so would still have to pay her if she cancelled, she is notorious for cancelling and changing times last minute.
She then said she would confirm asap. Finallyon Wednesday said she wouldn't need her for those times. Could she do 12-4.30pm instead, DD said yes, boss confirmed those times again yesterday evening.

Today boss also asked for Saturday next week, 1-9pm. My 2 DDs said they'd do it between them.
Boss gets home tonight at 7pm. I tell her next week is fine and that dd19 will see her tomorrow. She then says "oh, I don't need her tomorrow now!"
DD is really annoyed as she booked the day off and has now lost money.

I've told boss she needs to pay for hours booked, she doesn't thinK she has too as she changed the hours from what she'doriginally asked for when I had said a cancellation would need to be paid.
AIBU to say she has to pay something??

She sounds an awful employer. I would say my daughters were busy next time she asked.

What a horrible way to treat people. Especially teenagers, to do them out of money like that. She should have paid the full amount she agreed to. Unpleasant character.
