I have dealt with this , for me it was a gong show ! I was expected to be able to accommodate care with 15 min notice at 6:00 am each morning ! Lol being new I tried it ! Ugh no thanks I lasted 2 weeks and then was just annoyed after I figured out they might need me everyday but it averaged 2-3 days a week ! So lesson learned !
If they want or might need every day , they pay for every day or I charge them a daily drop in fee IF I have room !
It never ends with some dcf !! I feel like hanging a banner that says ,I'm not your grandma , aunt , sister , I do not owe it to you to make your life as easy as possible !
I can understand life constantly changes but I don't expect everyone else's life to change because mine has !
