i've been babysitting for a family for a couple of months now, i thought everything was ok. they didnt contact me last weeek about working which is unusual but i just figured that they didnt need me. this morning i get a text from sitters offering me a sitting job, which i accepted.

it turns out its this family!

now i dont know what to do. are they going through sitters because they arent happy with me? if so how will they feel about me just turning up?

when do i call, do i call now to allow them to find someone else if they dont want me or do i call an hour before like i normally would and have them possibly shocked when its me?

what do i do???

my brain is also friend, but im blonde

"the last time i left the dad said x (the mum) will contact you in the week to confirm saturday and that never happand, then i got a call on thursday saying can you work friday (today) and i said no, she then said oh i hear screaming i'll phone you back in a second and never did"

i read it that the mum did call op to ask if she could bs, but op said no she couldnt for that date and said no to family

either way you have to bit the bullet/take bull by horns etc and ring and speak to family

texts can misread
