(no subject)
So I had a horrible day yesterday. A caretaker lashed out at me during a shift, implying that I don't know how to do my job and that I wasn't watching the child (Of course I was making sure he was safe...although "babysitting" isn't in my job description). I had the feeling that she'll blame every single tantrum he has on me...he has autism, they can tantrum at the drop of a hat about anything! I called my supervisor to tell her what happened (and she told me that I had been doing everything correctly), but the caretaker had me in tears by the end of my shift. I had to call my next shift and tell them I'd be late so I could pull myself together.
I'm supposed to go back over today with my supervisor (who was scheduled to come out anyway). I DO NOT want to go...I feel like I'll just get attacked again. And as much as I don't want to cause any problems in the family (don't get me wrong, the I really enjoy working with the child), depending on how this goes, I'll probably be asked to be reassigned to another client.
I can deal with kids yelling at me, hitting me, throwing chairs at me.....this, though...no way.
