[quote=Anonymous]I am a live out nanny, I've been with the same family for almost 3 years. I love the kids and the family like I would my own family. But I have a problem. I do a lot of work for this family my average hours are anywhere from 38.5 hours to 43 hours a week. I drive my own vehicle and live very close to their home, but I'm putting around 1,000 miles a month on my car just taking the kids to their activities plus any other visits to parks and stores. This is my frst nanny gig but i have done child care for many years, i average about $14.50 an hour, but its expensive to be here in northern Va even with my boyfriend paying for half the bills. I'm also working a second job just to support my living situation. But I'm getting burnt out faster with work. I do 90% of the house work for not only the kids but the parents as well, minus major cleaning and yard work. But most errands are run by me, along with spring cleaning anything needed to be donated for kids clothes sorting the kids clothes and even a lot of grocery shopping. Which I really don't mind but I feel like I am not getting the compensation for all that I do. How should I explain to them that I need more money without seeming ungrateful? I really do enjoy my work with this family and they have been very good to me, but I find myself looking for new jobs because I'm struggling to support myself comfortably. Please help me figure out how to do this in a kind way![/quote]
