Not sure i want to sign new contract

1. Each family has a one rate. I’d suggest $14/hour per family, and making sure they understand that it’s five days per week. In exchange, you’re able to pick up a sick or misbehaving child, do snow days and school closures with both children. If they’re not willing to pay the two child rate, then they need to find other care.
2. The last 5 hours of the week are overtime. Doesn’t matter if it’s one family or two, one child or four.
3. Each family guarantees their normal 45 hours plus applicable overtime every week.
4. Two weeks of vacation, one at their choice (Christmas week, put it in the contract).
5. 3-5 days PTO/sick. Use one for black Friday, and put it into the contract.
6. Legal pay. That means ss/fica withheld/matched and an end-of-year w2. Not cash, no 1099. They do NOT have to withhold federal, state or local taxes, which means that you’d have to do that yourself.
7. If they need 8.30-5.30, that’s what their needs are. You may no longer be a fit due to the hours, and that’s fine. Explain that you need to be off by 5.15 most days. If you’re able to do 5.30 Mondays, tell them. If you can do two days, but don’t have specific ones, let them know. If you and they can’t work it out, you all move on.

The reason why the hours change is because they only had one set of car seats instead of the fathers having their own sub car seats but we work it out so I can get off at 5:15 all cars need to have reliable car seats for kids anyway shouldn't be one parent who's doing pickup that's dumb regardless to what their names are they don't want to find another Nanny because I've been with set kids since they were 3 months old and now they're going on three years so pretty much everything I've complained about they conform to because it didn't make sense and they want me to be with their newborns just as long as I've been with the older children

So the situation is I'm in a nanny share that started off with two children everything was fine bonuses, holidays, time off and pay . Fast forward to this year both families had new babies which means my job went from two kids to for yesterday they decided to share the updated contract with me number one I got a raise and my pay went from $21 with two kids to $27 an hour for 4 Kids however one of the older kids will be starting daycare for 2 days out of the week the mom does not want to pay me for those two days that's the first issue. My second issue they decided to give me the day after 4th of July and the day after Thanksgiving off which is a Friday non-paid fine I'm okay with that but then they also wanted to add the whole week of Christmas off but instead of paying me like they've been doing for the past 2 years they decide not to pay me. Lastly I've been asking them for 2 years to pay me on the books and take taxes out but they are complaining agencies are too expensive they're rather pay me cash so I want them to fill out a 1099 at the end of the year but also I work 45 hours a week in the state of paying me 5 hours overtime they just pay me for 45 hours and I'm starting to get a little frustrated and I don't know what to do what are your thoughts. I also forgot to mention they wanted to change my hours from 8:15 to 5:15 tonight at 8:30 to 5:30 and because I'm a mom and I have to pick up my daughter getting off at 5:30 is a little late

Non paid days off that they chose.
4 kids for $27/hr.
Paid under the table.
No paid overtime.
Hours changed that inconvenience you.

Honestly, this job sounds horrible and I would walk away.

My dear, I would walk away!! DON'T SIGN!

And honestly, I would put it to them in those terms. They are shorting you a lot of money, extending your hours and no paid vacations. You really need to have a conversation with them about this and don’t except anything less than what you had before. If they don’t budge then walk away.

Op please update us. No one is going to accept a position with 4 kids at $27 per hour + the poor benefits. Therefore, you have the upper hand. Start off by letting them know how much you do for them and how much you would like to continue with the kids but unfortunately under these circumstances you cannot. Be professional and strong! I would send an email addressing your concerns, letting them know what your hourly rate is and the # of PTO and then let them know you would be happy to follow up and discuss in person. I did this exact thing and got everything I wanted. Even when we had our meeting, they wanted to pay me a few dollars less than what my rate was. I told them how much I love the kids but unfortunately this would not work and to be far, I would like to hear their finally decision by this date, so that I can plan to move on; and if I did not hear anything, I would take it as you are unable to accommodate my rate. They responded within 48 hours agreeing to my rate. It’s a business and it’s all negotiable. If they value you knowing that don’t have to worry about their kids while they’re gone for 10+ hours, they will make it work.

Good luck!

So I have 3 paid weeks of vacation but they were giving me an additional week off which is Christmas but they wanted that week free which means I would loose out on 1200 which is nit okay especially being a single mom I already talked to them about that and how crazy it sounded so they are pating me... But it's the other family in the share who is trying to nickel and dime me apparently so I am having conversations with both sets of family
