[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- thanks! That's nice to hear. It's important to me to be worth every penny and more that I'm being paid. The thing is, it's really not a short break, IMO. Even after I'm finished searching for chores, I still have 2 hours left. Don't get me wrong, I feel very lucky and I'm not complaining by any means, I am just not used to this yet. I guess I'm mostly concerned that there are things they want me to do, but are afraid to ask. From what I've been told, their previous nanny, who was also their first, really took advantage. Basically set her own hours and treated them as though she was the employer. So ridiculous. I just don't want them to end up feeling resentful. I am also being paid about $5/hr less than previous jobs where housework was involved, so I should probably take that into account as well.[/quote]

It seems like you are doing a lot of extra housework and cleaning even though that isn't technically part of your job. I'm sure the family is very appreciative of this. If the child is napping and you have all of the activities planned, whole house clean, etc. then take some time for yourself! Read a book, magazine, etc. Take some time to recharge yourself so that you can be 110% when the child wakes up.
