[quote=Anonymous]I work part time for two different families.

Family A i have worked for 1.5 years now , i work 1-2 days a week (every wed with some extra monday/fridays when needed). I didn't get paid the day before thanksgiving even tho it fell on my normal day(and i offered/wanted to work) bc the dad was home from work. This week i am not getting paid either bc the dad has the week off of work. I took this job before i got married and am now trying to save for a house. The mother sent me an email before Christmas to check in with me (she works as a nurse so when i work i see her husband who's a 9-6 job and not her) She says they are thrilled with me and the kids love me and want to see how things are going on my end. I am planning on having coffee with her next week and need to know how to bring this up to her (or give a month notice which i agreed to 1.5 years ago when i started working)

Family B i have been working for 5 months now two set days a week , Tuesday & Thursday.  When i started 5 months ago we agreed i would be paid 10 hours even if it was less (which never happens) and paid more if its more , so i assumed they would pay for days they dont need me but they haven't. I have worked many date nights for them on saturday nights , stayed late on sometimes very short notice (instead of 5 pm 10 pm so they could go out to dinner) , gone in early on short notice. I don't mind working extra and going in early/late bc i really like the kids and the parents are very nice as well. Christams this year fell on a Tuesday and Thursday they are going skiiing (mother works for school system). As well as next tuesday they don't need me bc of New years day. That is three days i would normally work and recevied no extra pay.

Between family A and B i am out a lot of money and am not enjoying this time off due to the fact its my husbands busiest time of year at work and i'd rather be working.

How do i bring this up to the families so i can avoid this in the future holiday's? Or is it time to start looking for just one family to work for an make sure i discuss this prior to starting ? [/quote]
