awol sitter

So, Shaun stopped working at WalMart last week. He's now working from home. It makes it kind of hard on the kids. They want to go in and talk to dad, but he keeps kicking them out.
Now my sitter is going awol. I hadn't told her that Shaun was quitting, because i knew what her response would be. Shaun told her yesterday, & now she doesn't want to watch the kids anymore. She thinks that because he's home, he should be keeping the kids. He's still working. She wanted me to talk to shaun about it. I did, already knowing what the answer would be. So, with 5 weeks left in the semester, i have to find another sitter that is willing to trade or take food as payment. Don't know how i'm going to find someone. Guess i should look on the bulletin board to see what's there.
