[quote=Anonymous]Hi - I just started a part-time nanny/babysitting job just 1 day a week. They have a full-time nanny the other days, and I am a full-time nanny for another family on those days. I've sat for them 4 times now, and I just don't feel like it's fit for me at all. It's an 11 hour day, and neither children nap, and they are not allowed to watch TV, so it's a really long day for me, and I get too worn out by not having a break at all. The children are very, very high-energy and needy and its just too physically demanding to have to constantly engage them. I also have trouble with the parents. They micromanage our schedule to a tee. (Literally a written list of what to do every 15 minutes, a detailed list of what to feed them and when, very specific rules). They also call multiple times a day to check on things, and sometimes call that evening to discuss their day even further..... It just stresses me out and I don't like the job at all. Has anyone ever worked for a MB like this? I was hoping she would calm down a little once we got to know each other and build trust, but I don't feel like things are getting better and it's just too stressful for me!!! I'm just wondering what the best way to approach this is, and do I need to give a 2 weeks notice? What should I say to her? Is over phone or email okay since I only see her once a week? Any advice would be great. I have never quit a job after only a month.[/quote]
