[quote=Anonymous]I've worked FT for a large family since the summer of '09.  I love the family to bits, but the youngest is now in Pre-school and so my hours were cut a bit.  MB/DB were very considerate and asked if I'd like to help with light housework, and regain some hours.  They usually have maids come out twice a week, but cut them down to once every two weeks since I work about two hours 5 days a week doing light cleaning (dishes, laundry, folding, vacuuming, sweeping, mopping ect.)  Now, I was told I'd be doing housework while all the kids are at school from 12 to around 2 or 3, before picking up the kids.  Which I do, I keep things very clean and I honestly believe I go above my duty (organizing, doing bathrooms, windows ect) but I don't mind because the family has been so good to me.  However, I've noticed since I've started doing more housekeeping, that I'm expected to pretty much clean up after everyone all the time.  In my mind, and the way it was explained to me was that I was "maid" from 12 to 2 and nanny from 3 to 9ish, not maid/nanny all day.  I always clean up after myself, any mess I make...but it's gotten to the point where MB/DB expect me to clean up after them, do laundry 24/7 and be their personal servant.  This is not what I signed up for, I am a nanny, and I rather spend my time with the children rather than cleaning out the dog cage.  How can I gently and respectfully let MB/DB know that my "maid" time is different than my "nanny" time.[/quote]
