Unless you want to be let down the day with little

Drew was reliable up until she got comfortable thats when things changed. She would ask to change times of arrival with little notice. Come with a very depressing attitude like she couldn't be bothered..

I may add (All we asked was for her care for my oldest daughter..
As I always made sure my youngest was sleeping and settled for the evening before Drew come)
so she basically only had to watch tv and put my oldest to sleep.
I always paid for her food when she was us or leave her money to order food. Or I use to make her tea for her and my daughter..

I also went as far as making her boyfriend tea then for her to take when she had finished her evening with us.
I also agreed to let study her uni work but it come apparent that she was always wanting my daughter to go to bed early so she could study but we later discovered via our indoor house camera that she would just sit in her phone or watch tv.
no uni work being done.

We later learnt she would let my oldest daughter spend a large amount of spend on her iPad when we had not agreed for this to happen.
When I made clear we are not a iPad family I saw a difference in her wanting to work for us. Like the easy way has stopped she has to actually entertain my daughter.
I have endless amounts of crafts etc but none was done apart from when Drew was on her pleasing professional self in the first weeks of us hiring her.
We had a rotating shift plan for Drew
It was (Every other Saturday)
(Every other Friday)

Drew called us a week or so after Christmas asking for extra hours because she was going to lose her job. & if my husband had a job for her boyfriend
So I tried my hardest to give her extra week evening hours but as a hands on mum at times I would cancel Drew or my daughters become poorly one week and I had to cancel Drew. I felt so bad that I sent photos to Drew to show her I wasn't laying to her.

The icing on the cake for myself was when Drew Cancelling on the morning she was booked in as we had a spa late afternoon booked .
I will add she tried to change the times of her arrival at 11.30 the night before from 4.30 to 6.30pm
and i did give her option to cancel but she reassured me she was ok to still come for the time we had her scheduled for!
The next morning at 12ish she messages myself to cancel due to seeing her step son time we had her scheduled for and she won't be able to come until 6.30pm as this was the time she wanted to change to the night before. But as we had our spa booked and paid for at 5.30pm
we couldn't possibly accommodate this request like we would times she has asked to suddenly change . She wasn't very understanding to why I was was extremely frustrated and upset.
We lost a sum of £1000 for that spa as we couldn't attend it's not about the money it's about the lack of empathy towards myself and lack of respect and lack of understanding to why we was so upset by what she had done. I give her the option to cancel the night before
if she knew she was planning to see her STEP SON.
But she chose to myself,husband and daughters down on the day leaving no time to find any other help..
she later decided to send a few messages. Stating I should prioritise my family over money as money means nothing to her and she would live in bin bag decline a wage just to see her step son.
I am sad I have had to write this but I really don't want this to happen to another family
I also give Drew clothes as she expressed she was struggling
