[go away vs go off] and [let me look after vs leave me to look after]
I have made up (1) below. My non-native English speaking friends' revision is (2).
(1) John says to me,"See you later."
I reply, "Where are you going? Why are you leaving your kids with me? Please bring them with you. Don't go away and leave me to look after them."
(2) John says to me,"See you later."
I reply, "Where are you going? Why are you leaving your kids with me? Please bring them with you. Don't go off and let me look after them."
Whose word choice in bold is correct: "go away vs go off" and "let me look after vs leave me to look after"?
Please help me. Thank you very much for your help and time.
