I accepted a job offer In June, that would officially starts in August. But, I was asked if I could do a couple of days in
July which happened to be 2 consecutive weeks of 36hrs. The third week they will be away, no pay for me because
Our official start date is not until August. Fourth week of July is another 36hrs again. I do not have any rproblem with this
But my husband just point out that my employer is trying to save the 3rd week that they will be away not require to pay me
because we have not officially started our employment yet. But, she did took all the taxes out of my paycheck and wrote on the papers
my start of employment is July. The 8days (4days/wk) I worked with them, 5 days she is late for 15-30minutes and didnt pay for it.

Btw, I havent answer the contract she sent me because of the feeling of a lil bit of discomfort with the MB.

Sometimes in June right after I accept this job, I found a temporary 1 week only babysitting job. The family were great the kids
Are well mannered and pay is better that what I would be getting in August. And I just found out while working wit them that
they know the family I would be working with in August. (Know each other but not friends).

Making story short, I received an email from this temporary family today, that they are needing a nanny and if I know of anyone.
I am shyly admitting that I would love to be their nanny, instead of the family that I would going to in August.

Advice please..

But, OP, you should accept the job offered by the second family. You haven't signed a contract with the first family, and it's clear they are trying to take advantage of you in multiple ways.

The new family that you accepted the job offer from sounds quite shady to me. They told you the position doesn't begin technically until August, yet you are working some pretty substantial hours this month so this whole thing doesn't make any sense. They are trying to get away with something here, and like your husband stated, likely it has to do with money.

And the fact that they were late doesn't bode well at all.

I say go with your gut here and let this family go. If you continue on with them, they will only nickel and dime you to death and you will be on this forum every single day with a new gripe.

I say if this other family offers you a job, then by all means accept it. They sound like a better fit for you thus far.

Good luck to you.
