RobFTC Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I am sad about this - a good sitter has fallen off the face of the earth on me. I hire a sitter to take my daughter to music lessons and do other ride-giving, which is sadly not a lot of hours. The real need, though, is traveling for work or other things. I want someone there overnight with them, still. This one had been with us for most of a year. She was almost my age, very reliable, was good with the girls, and was unflappable in some out-of-the-ordinary situations. Three weeks ago, she said her vehicle had a major problem, and she was not going to be able to take Sarah to her cello lesson. And that's the last I heard from her. A week later, when I didn't get a response to a text message, I called her cell phone, and the number seemed to not be in service. I am afraid that the major vehicle repair took the money she had for phone service and possibly for rent, too. I know she's moved since she applied for the job, so I think I just don't have a way to track her down and figure out how it's going and whether I could help at all. Back to care.com for another sitter, but this time the reasons are the toughest yet :-( Take care, Rob T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momtojandj Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Rob, that's crazy . I would think she would contact you ? Unless she embarrassed by what happened. If you got her through care.com , would they have a way to contact her ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobFTC Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 I forgot to check - I did have her e-mail. I just sent another ping. Take care, Rob T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trying2breathe Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Rob Disappointing to say the least, in losing a good sitter. This is strange though, even if she didn't have her cell she could find a way to contact you. Maybe your girls can give you an idea on what's going on? Good luck ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimiRed Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Ugh, Rob! So sorry! I would think it would be a courtesy to let you know what happened and that she would no longer be available to help out. Hopefully you will find a solution and everything will work out for the best!
