NTA. She CB’ed you to drop the price and then completely under-represented the amount of work you would have to do. And then complained that you didn’t do it well. I would just block her contact. Also, this is why you should never “discount” your rates for someone with a sob story. You devalued your work and now she wants to continue to take advantage of you. Totally within your rights to demand a higher rate for more kids AND all of the conditions you described. If she wants to pay less, she can find someone else to babysit. But if her kids and house are as you described, my guess is that she has a lot of one-time babysitters who never return. You would be wise to put yourself on that list.
