Which tells me

a. They have approached this casually in the past

b. Mom knew the biggest issue was paying 65.00/hour for something that isn't a big deal to DCP.

Every situation is different. I, personally, would call emergency contacts in like 15 minutes if I was closed, mom was late, no call, no idea. What if mom is sitting with a flat tire in a no cell zone? I lose cell signal 3 places near my house. No place to walk and call from.

I think we all assume, based on Dad's behavior and OP's report that she was goofing off. OK. We have no idea what happened and, No, Nanny, not every parent is giving it all away with body language. When I was in an office gig, my bad day didn't go home with me up front, but it did make me snippy and it did make me late.

Why no call to emergency contacts? Its a regular thing. Its a bonus. Offer to extend hours for a little less (than 65.00) every day and make extra every week. I am betting its a nightmare for her to get there in time and they are thinking about changing providers because they need mom's salary too.
