So irritated at babysitter

I'm going to bring it up to her today, in a nice way, but I have to complain right now.  Yesterday dd woke up at about 6:15 and had a bottle at 7.  She then napped from 7:40-8:20.  I dropped her off at the sitter around 9:45 and told her she'd be ready to eat again around 10 and another nap around 10:30 or so.  I go to pick her up around 2 and the sitter says "Not a good day today.  She seemed sleepy so I put her down at 10:05 and she screamed and cried and wouldn't go down.  I went in to comfort her a few times, but she just got more upset so I picked her up.  She was chewing on her fingers, so maybe she's teething?  She didn't fall asleep until 10:45 and then only napped for 20 mins."  DD usually puts herself to sleep for all naps, so this is strange for her.  I thought, well that's weird!  Must have just been an off day.

I get home and look at her report (the sitter writes down all of her times- what time she eats, goes to sleep, wakes up, diaper changes, etc.)  She didn't get her bottle until 11:25 when I told her she'd probably be ready to eat around 10.  Hello!!  Did she not stop to think maybe she wouldn't go to sleep and was chewing on her fingers because she was hungry???  I was so irritated last night.  I'm going to talk to her about it today nicely, but just had to vent on here.  Ugh!

    That would irritate me too.  I can't believe if she was chewing her fingers that the sitter didn't try to feed her.  Maybe she did and didn't write it down because your D wouldn't take it.  It sounds weird.
