She obviously isn't right in the head if she gets pissed off at you because of an emergency. If she says anything to any interviewer you might have, just tell the interviewer what happened.<BR/>I broke my ankle once and was in the ER when I called my boss to let her know I wasn't going to be able to watch the baby that afternoon..she then asked me if I could just come over when I got home from the hospital. Sure, let me get right on that after they set my ankle straight!

I told the mother I could only come over for about a half hour because I had a prior appt. She said that was fine but still wanted to meet me anyways. I go there and she didn't even remember I was supposed to be there. Then after 10 mins she asks if I could stay for 2 hours so that she can get her house in order. I firmly told her no, that she knew I had a prior appt and that we could schedule time another day. then we sat down and talked aobut a few days she would need me. Everytime she needed me I was already busy and boy was she not happy. Here I am, now she wants me to be her B,. I agreed to a few days and then when the first one came up I called her to confirm. I called her 2 times in fact, and she never answered, so I didn't show up. Oh well, can't win them all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-72879179857765346332008-07-23T20:00:00.000-04:002008-07-23T20:00:00.000-04:00Craig's List has gotten me some great baby-sitting...Craig's List has gotten me some great baby-sitting gigs - and some really good stories to tell at cocktail parties too! Last week I canceled a sitting job for Friday on MONDAY and the woman called me the c word. She screamed at me until I hung up - and then had the audacity to call me on Saturday "to see how I was feeling". I don't think you have anything to worry about and hope you find a nice family to work for soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-87292852138162844612008-07-23T19:22:00.000-04:002008-07-23T19:22:00.000-04:00OP here.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, and I know it's hard, but try not to take it personal. The thing about Craigslist is, people are really flakey. It doesn’t sound like this is the case with you, but she might have had several people cancel on her or not show up and she took it out on you.kathleencareshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11539584061260694517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-38233364077571433472008-07-23T16:17:00.000-04:002008-07-23T16:17:00.000-04:00because how is she really to know which one you ar...because how is she really to know which one you are.

If this woman really does hold a grudge against you and goes so far as writing mean things about you on craigslist, then she has some serious issues. Besides, what reasonable person is really going to listen to a lunatic going on about how you **gasp** canceled an interview? Seriously, continue with your job search and don't give this lady a second thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-42121938786758600962008-07-23T15:36:00.000-04:002008-07-23T15:36:00.000-04:00I was fired from a position because I had the auda...I was fired from a position because I had the audacity to get into a car accident (Not my fault, a guy ran a red light and broadsided me, I was lucky to survive) on the way to the job that morning and end up in the ER!<BR/><BR/>I was checking my messages that evening and found several nasty ones from the SAH mom, berating me for being so unprofessional. I called to explain that I was in the hospital and she told me that I should have had my husband or family member call her earlier! I had to have a friend of mine who is an attorney write her a threatening letter when she began dragging my name through the mud among her friends and peers in the community. <BR/><BR/>Don't sweat it. If you suspect she is slandering you professionally, that is saying false things that hinder your ability to earn a living, she is liable for monetary damages.

Honestly, don't worry about it. You can flag her down if she says anything but the truth is that she does not know you, she hasn't interviewed you, and she has nothing on you.
