[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny here-

I’ll be super sad and disappointed if I don’t receive a good bonus this year. I’ve been working all through the pandemic and took on A LOT of extra work now that the housekeeper doesn’t come anymore. Now I’m a chef for the parents and the kids, do all the laundry, clean kitchen dishes constantly etc. I work really hard and spend hours researching recipes now that apparently it’s my job to feed the parents. If I don’t get a bonus, then I’ll be making tacos and pasta from now on. I’m not spending hours chopping onions and marinating and making sauces if my effort isn’t recognized. I took on a lot of extra unpaid work and I won’t continue doing it if I don’t receive a bonus. [/quote]

How did you go from making simple meals and snacka for the kids to being a chef for the family AND doing all the laundry? Did you offer or did the parents specifically tell you to add on duties?[/quote]

The parents have been asking and piling it on. I’m also doing distance learning for 3 kids. They’re saving a lot now that the housekeeper doesn’t come anymore, so if I don’t receive an above average bonus I will either stop doing all the extras, as for a raise, or quit. It’s too much. [/quote]

That’s taking advantage, sorry pp.  I would be doubling your bonus and showering you with gifts if you were my nanny. [/quote]
