You are an idiot. |
Yes, she said it was a part of a share so this doesn't make sense. |
| I texted the other family and I will talk to them about icing forward on Wednesday |
| Sounds more like a nanny split since she works only a few days per family. |
| Wow... Okay let me explain this. I don't understand why every detail is so important. 1 family is full time. They have not quit. The second family is a shift worker and uses me 2-3 days a week. |
The reason it makes a difference is because if you ONLY had 1 job where you worked 2-3 days a week then it's more important to have more notice. If you have a full time job already PLUS this other one that is a share on the days you work for both families that is a different story. I don't know what your arrangement is but presumably your full-time family pays you a different rate on your share days than on your not share days. If there is no longer a share then they should pay you their non-share rate every day. Therefore it is not as big a deal if your part-time MB only gives you 1 month notice rather than 2. Of course, your contract says 2 months and that's up to you if you want to pursue it but since you are asking for advice, it makes a difference if you still have a full-time job. |
If the family giving notice shares with another family, it matters what the other family wants to do and how they intend to proceed. |
| Exactly!! I am now just holding out hope that the other family can afford it in the short... Otherwise I'm out if a job |
Can afford to pay your single child rate or to cover the second family entirely until another suitable share family can be found? |
| Neither |

I guess I know nothing for sure. I just don't like to assume. I'm just annoyed with this MB for not honouring our contract. I'll chat with FT mb soon! Thanks guys.
Do uou think I should let it go with the contract or ask her to honour it? I would be Availble for care? |
I think it depends on what happens with your FT family. If your income is cut for the second month because she didn't honor your contract then I think you should ask. If your FT family is going to make up the difference or find another family for the share then I would probably let it go. That's just me though, I'm sure some people would say you should make them honor the contract just for the principle of it but I am a big proponent of picking your battles. |
