I am currently working a second job on Sunday's at a church in the child care room. Since no one else wants this job, I am doing it entirely alone.
Last week was my first time there. I had a child who was 5 years old and a baby of 6 months. The baby was to be held per the mom and would cry if I did not hold her.
Well, people started bringing back their misbehaving children who were disrupting the church service. So, I ended up with a SCREAMING baby who was also 6 months old along with other kids. The screaming baby was placed in my arms and mom left. When I put down my one baby, that one would cry and the other one would start crying if I tried to put the other down.
I ended up ignoring all the school- age kids (thankfully they weren't totally awful but I couldn't even engage with them) but I could not comfort two babies at once and am expected to possibly have up to three or four per service.
I dread going in today. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks.
