Wow I feel for you!! I take it this is a daycare job? I had an experience with one a few years ago. I dont have my early childhood education cert. so I could only apply as a paid helper..never to be left alone with the children and only as a call in position, which could be 1 or 2 days a week. WELL!! After the first day they called me the next day and I was left alone with a ROOM full of potty training TWO year olds!! I was in shock and totally unprepared. They called me every day of the week that week and I was left alone again and again...no ECE worker in sight...needless to say I never went back! It was totally illegal on their part and I was not going to be used! Dont get taken advantage of..be firm with them and re-remind them of the hours you CAN work. Its so stressfull I know..the babies are a handful and never a one person job.
