[quote=Anonymous]Well, I started the new years with one goal: Be happy and find a family that will not take advantage of me. My previous job was okay, but I was working 12-13 hours a day, I stayed there for 2 years and decided to move on, since I did not have time for myself, I just think it's not worth spending my life working if I don't have time for a social life. So I found this job with regular hours (7:30 am - 5:30 pm) in a great community. The job is housecleaning and childcare, which I love doing... I've been live in the house for 4 weeks nos and the parents are showing their true colors, I work my butt off to clean the house (I do details) and keep everything in a way to please everyone, and apparently I have no right to sit for 5 minutes for a break to eat (they think I'm sitting around, even though the house is spotless, there's no appreciation), before the 4 kids come home for school. Yesterday, the entire family left for a weekend trip around 1 PM, so I assumed I'd be off too and left the house the buy myself some lunch and came straight back home, for my surprise, they had came back and were waiting for me to give me a list of things to do for the weekend (which I'm off!), and they started to yell at me because I left for 15 minutes, even if I leave the house I'm in trouble.

I'm not a quitter but if the "being part of the family" crap means to the family "you are our property" I'm out. Where are all the "normal" families that doesn't take advantage or treat the help like trash? I'm really hard worker and i don't think I deserve to be yelled at, I respect the family I work with and I believe they should treat me with the minimal respect too. I never heard of asking references about a family before we join to work with them, but it's the same concern when a family wants to check the nanny references.

Turns out I'm still unhappy, and I'm not sure what to do... if in 4 weeks they are already treating me like this, I don't want to know how would be in a year. I wonder why the last nanny quit.[/quote]
