[quote=Anonymous]Most nannies who work two jobs do so out of necessity - to top their hours up to make 40-50 hours. Some will do babysitting on the side, but its more 'put the kids to bed, quick tidy, chill out till the parents come back'.

I think that if you are getting stressed out it means you have taken too much on. I hope this question doesn't come across rudely or bluntly but if you work 60hours (plus commute to and from jobs?) how do you have a life? when do you go to the gym, have coffee with old friends, date, have dinner with the family ect?

Work /life balance is very important. I feel you have a work life in-balance (I think that at 60 hours a week most nannies would agree with me), however I understand you like to work more hours than most, but you also have a work/work in-balance too.

However to actually give you a useful answer and not just things to think about: "giving my best to both families but not wearing myself out" Is it the hours that make you worn out? The tasks? The running around? Figure out which of these is affecting your ability to give your best. Then try and figure out how to cut down and reduce the part that is stressful and tiring.

You may have to learn to say no, or add conditions to extra hours,
