Will I have a job in January?

So I've contacted the people/person I am supposed to start working with as a nanny next month. Have called and left a message. Really hope that this job isn't going to fold up on me! The last thing I need to do is try to find another job. Another month of my being unemployed and financially the shit is going to hit the everloving fan! Not to mention the pay rate for this job is really good. God, I hope she calls! Really DO NOT need more proof of how flaky people can be!!
