MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Claimant left her employment as a clerk for a municipal water authority after claimant's mother-in-law informed her that she would no longer babysit claimant's three children. The record establishes that claimant failed to request a leave of absence in order to make a more diligent effort in searching for acceptable child care. Under these circumstances, substantial evidence supports the decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board that claimant voluntarily left her employment without good cause (see Matter of Vitale [Commissioner of Labor], 263 A.D.2d 758; Matter of Monreale [Commissioner of Labor], 249 A.D.2d 620).
Mercure, J.P., Spain, Rose, Lahtinen and Kane, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
