My question is why are you trying to cut your hours when there's absolutely no scheduling conflict at all?

2nd job 1-6pm

My guess is because she's now basically "booked" everyday 8-6 with three drives in there. That doesn't leave her much time to do other things, and she's got extra time at job A.

Op here, being honest I want to go to work at 10 .
I can finish all tasks at 12. I don’t want to go at 8.
I have classes in evening and it make me so tired to wake up early in morning.

So ask about that. Or maybe switch it so you don't go every day. Could you do everything you need to do for them in two or three days a week, and then have the other days to sleep in?

But I don't know if they'll go for it, and neither do you. I have a housekeeper that it sometimes very busy, and sometimes has to find things to do, but if she was only doing the things I put on the list, and had lots of extra time she couldn't fill, I'd probably replace her with someone who could find more things to do. I want someone 5 hours a day to do household things that make my life easier. There are always a few things I put on a list, but then she can always find something else to do.

If your employers just want someone to do laundry and cook, and you can get that done in 10 hours a week, tell them so and see what they say.

I don't think you will get them to pay you what you're earning for 4 hours, though.

Household tasks are not being a house manager, OP - you are a cleaning person. I don't see how you could get away with a salary rather than hourly. Just take the hourly wage, do four hours and use the down time to study.

Then ask for the pay of the hours you actually work or ask for more tasks.

You could ask to be paid by the task. So laundry, $15/day, cooking $20/ day, etc., but you'd have to find out if they'd be interested in doing that.
