[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is just a small vent.

I nanny for family "B" from 7am-2pm Mondays to Thursdays and 7am-3:30pm on Fridays and then family "P" from 2:30pm-8:30pm Mondays-Thursdays. I don't know how the nannies that work 50-60 hours a week do it. [/quote]

You are working 13 hour days MON-THU and then 8.5 on FRI. You are working 60.5 hours per week. *You* are one of the nannies that work 50-60 hours per week. Did you mean OTHER nannies that work those same hours? 12.5 hours a day (with only 30 minutes between jobs) is a lot. No wonder you are tired. Why don't you try and find a shorter afternoon job that only goes until 5/6/7pm? It's amazing how getting off work even just an hour earlier each day could make it feel like it is a few hours earlier. That could save you 4+ hours of work, which doesn't drop your pay by that much, but makes your days just a bit easier.[/quote]

OP here: Yes, sorry..I meant to say.."I don't know how the other nannies...". I definitely know it is a lot. I have to leave my first job and drive 20 minutes to my second job to be there and pick up the kids from school at 2:30 so I don't even have time to stop and grab a coffee or do anything.

I would really love to find just ONE full-time position where I wasn't driving around so much and didn't work more then 45-50 hours a week but I live in a state where it's not that easy to find full-time, good paying nanny jobs so I had to go with two separate jobs. I probably could drop my second job but then I'd be taking a huge pay cut. I get $650 a week from the first family and then $360 a week from the second family so I'd be going from $1,010 a week to $650 a week which is a huge pay cut to me.[/quote]
