[quote=Anonymous]OP don't beat yourself up for not having a contract. I have had many jobs w/out a written agreement and that does not give a family a free pass to use and abuse you.

You should not be washing the family laundry. Or picking up the house after the weekend mess, etc. !!!!

It is so sad that this family is trying to squeeze all they can out of you at the expense of their children. Because you are so busy w/cleaning and washing, you are not able to be the attentive, loving and effective nanny those kids deserve. The parents could care less....they just want a "2-for-1" deal. Nanny/Maid for the price of a Nanny. Shame on them. And all others like them as well.

First chance you get, sit down w/these parents, esp. MB and let them know you are a nanny only, not a housekeeper. While you do not mind picking up any toys played w/during your shift as well as washing any dishes used during your stay, you simply cannot provide adequate nanny care if you have to clean up the house after a chaotic weekend and wash the parent's laundry, etc. Tell them you are over worked and it really is affecting the care you are providing those kids.

Now if these parents really and truly love their children, they will see things from your end and hopefully relieve you of your domestic duties and such.
However if they balk and disagree, then I would move on. [/quote]
