I have a housekeeper. You can't imagine asking anyone to do those things? There's a whole category of domestic employee who does this, it's just not the nanny.

So why not ask the gardener to wash out a few pairs of undies for you? A nanny is not a housekeeper. You can a housekeeper who will keep an eye on your kids but that doesn't make her a nanny.

The children are 3 and 5 year old boys and a now 6 month old girl. Now 7 months in I feel I am being taken advantage of. They are a super nice family but the duties and the mom being inconsiderate has me one the verge of quitting. The only way to help you understand why I feel like I'm being taken advantage of is to run you through my day : I arrive at 6am Monday thru Friday wake up everyone including the mom as the dad is already gone to work. Make breakfast and lunches and get kids ready for school all with baby in arms. The mom then takes the two boys to school. I am then responsible for cleaning up the disgusting mess from the night before because no one here cleans up after themselves (old bottles,sippy cups, food etc) mop and vacuum whole house, do ALL laundry and they change 3-4 times a day, dishes, basically whole house cleaning EVERYDAY. She had me moving mattresses to third floor the other day. That was kinda my breaking point. All with caring for an infant while she is out EVERYDAY shopping (Gucci, all designer things, Botox etc) and getting nails and hair done as she has yet to bond with her baby since she was born. She also probably once a week asks me to go home at my normal time which is 5 pm and come back at 7pm so she can go out or whatever then comes home at midnight or later then expects me to be back at 6am he next day and also work pretty much every weekend I've worked 6-7 days a week for the past 2 months and all for $10 an hour except weekends I make $15 an hour. And mind you I HAVE A FAMILY OF MY OWN I have a husband And almost 3 year old and my family depends on my income as my husband is getting his business started. So I'm at a loss on how to go about this issue because I love the kids and they love me

Are you a nanny or a maid? $10 for a maid is too small for all what you do for this family. Please watch after yourself, because no one will do it. This family is taking advantage. Start seriously looking for something else and quit this family. Best of luck!!

Is this real? $10 an hour?! For nannying, AND housekeeping? Quit now.

How long are the two boys in school once the Mom drops them off?

Sounds like your day has a busy period in the early morning and then tapers off with infant stuff and housekeeping while the child naps.

what city and state are you in?
