I am a nanny who works in a nannyshare. However one of the kids has not adjusted well to the share and her family has decided to pull out of the share. The other family (I am a live in nanny with them) wants to keep me. They have offered me several options - but basically it will come down to me having more free time and being paid less. Do I stay in the job? Or do I look for another job?
Full time pay is important to me for the following reasons: Student loan, I'd like to own a house one day and I am saving to travel. I also really like the family. The parents are fair and lovely. The kids are fairly easy going and I know them. Thoughts? Suggestions? Recommendations? |

| Op, I know it must be a little hard to think for you. But if you ask for an advice, as a Nanny myself, I would move on. Because in these difficult times with inflation and everything; I wouldn't want to have the luxury to have lots of time off earning less money. I would prefer to have a stable and Full time job. I know you must like and love the family, but it's up to you what it's most important for you. Whatever you decide, I wish you take the best decision for you. |

Is finding another share family an option?
I would keep the job for now and start looking for a full-time position so you do not have a gap, especially since you are live-in. |

Is it time that you could do something meaningful with? For example you are not needed / paid by current family on Fridays, so you could pick up a nanny / tutor job on Fridays? Or they only need care 9-2pm so you could do after school help / care. Or is it that you would have 11am - 1pm free and you couldn't really do much with that?
If you can pick up other jobs, that seems reasonable (and might actually have your current family reconsider because when you say "no, sorry I can't do that I have another job then". They might decide having you on standby even if they don't need you is worth it). But, if the time is not usable, then I would move on. |
