Note- I did discuss with them using my grandmother as my sub which they agreed to so I wouldn't have to have time off unpaided.

I sat down and talked to the parents and we came to an agreement. But I'm still feeling a bit milked. Here are my concerns.

2. Family Vacation – The Nanny is aware that the family will be taking vacation for approximately a week and a half this summer, during which the Nanny will continue to receive payment with the understanding that she will have the following additional duties: caring for the dog to include twice daily feedings, multiple opportunities to relieve himself in the yard each day, and opportunities for daily exercise to include a walk; additional duties will include hot tub maintenance such as adding appropriate water treatment and checking pH balance every day, and bringing in mail/newspapers, and generally keeping the home tidy.

My concern with this is when we sat down I told them them I might be taking my own vacation at the same time. Honestly I don't think it's fair for my vacation time to have to be used as a housesitter. Also I only work three days for them a week but this would require me to do do eight days straight at there home. If not this means a lot of commuting and going back and forth. I think it's fair I charge extra.

8. Changing Work Days – From time to time, Mom may be asked to work on a Tuesday or Thursday instead of the usual Monday, Wednesday or Friday.  In this case, the parents ask the Nanny to make every effort to accommodate the change in schedule (including Nanny’s Grandmother as substitute) with the understanding that the total number of work hours for the 2-week period will not change (for example, a Wednesday Nanny day would change to a Thursday Nanny day).

My concern with this is that they know I work a second job on Tuesdays and Thursdays and when moms days switch it usually requires me to call out for that day. Since i have to be at the other job by 5 and she cant be home until, 6. Even though I'm soon planning to quit this job to find another nanny job for Tuesdays and Thursdays I more than likely will not be available.

AM I STILL BEING FAIR???????
