[quote=Anonymous]Is the problem: a) that they are expecting more cleaning than you can do in the 10-15 hours a week that they are paying you to clean so that you are having to clean while watching the kids?  Or b) that you aren't OK with the kind of cleaning tasks they are expecting during the 10-15 hrs they pay you to clean?

If it is a, I would make a list of your tasks for a given week along with a time estimate for each, and then sit down and talk to them about what you can realistically do during the hours that you don't have the kids.  It is possible that they want you to do household tasks while the children entertain themselves (not unrealistic with older elementary kids, questionable if one is still preschool age), and if so, this just may not be a good fit for you anymore.

If it is b, then you just may no longer be a good fit for their needs.  If they are paying you for 10-15 hrs a week of cleaning, it is not unreasonable for them to expect you to clean up after them/do laundry etc.  Of course it is perfectly understandable if you don't want to take on these chores.  In that case, you need to decide whether to accept the reduction in hours or just look for another job.  [/quote]
