[quote=Anonymous]I have worked part time for a Family A for a year and a half. I have been very unhappy recenltly with my schudule changes and feel like i am now being taken advatagne of . I had agreed to work a morning once in a while to help them out , So i go in for 7 am and drop the girls off at 750 for school and am off by 8 till i pick them up again at school at 2.(the mother as a nurse has to go in once a month for a morning shift , which i agreed to but the other shifts she is just picking up bc she wants to) I do only live 5 minutes away , but to get up at 630 am to go in for only an hour of pay isn't worth it due to the fact i sometimes work later night or long days with my other family the night before (which i have made them aware of in the past). I also only work 1-2 days a week with this family and 2-3 days with another family.

I just got my schudule for the upcoming month and a half and she has me down for 12 morning shifts (two of which i agreed to because she is going out of town for work conference). I did have a chat with her around Christmas and explained due to working some late nights i preffered not to work so early for a short period of time. Her DB will go into work a little later on the days she works the mornings (nurse) if she picks up the shift last minute and i'm not able to do it. ( I was smart enough to put a three hour min in for the other family due to the fact they live a little further away , 30 minutes and they never expect morning help just after school and some later nights)

I also am unhappy they have cancelled shifts very last minute (night before) and haven't paid or offered me to make the time up. (sometimes sick kid , once she just wanted a day off to run errands and was going to take kids with her) In a year and a half i have called out once and gave 5 hours notice like required because i was really sick. Also my end time is "whenever my husband gets home"  typically its 615 or so but sometimes it can be 630 or as early as 530 and i am only paid till he gets home yet can't make personal plans till after 630 due to not knowing.

I don't see MB at all because DB gets home a few hours before her. I occasionally will call her , leave a voice mail and she will text me back even if i mentioned giving me a quick call back. So it seems as she prefers texting.

I am giving a month notice like required by MB (I was her first nanny hired so no idea if she will keep me the full month or not) Either way i have Family B i work for who i am going to be picking up extra hours with.

Can i email / text to her letting her know that i am no longer able to do more then one morning a month so think its a better fit if she looks for someone who will better suit her needs ? (shes going to have a hard time finding someone else due to cancelling a lot last minute and not paying , not paying for gas , etc ) Should i in my email mention to her in the future so she might have better luck with the next nanny ? They are a very nice family just not great to work for and its half my fault for not bringing things up to her its just hard when you never see MB and shes in charge of your hours etc.
