[quote=Anonymous]Ok, OP, sounds like you're taking steps to get out of this and that you've learned a lot.  Hopefully next time you won't accept a job without a contract on each and every one of these issues.  Although I don't really get what you mean be a paid 30-minute lunch break.  How would that work?  Typically there will be some time in your day that kids are napping, if younger, or playing independently, if older, and that's when you might get a little time for yourself.  Beyond that, I don't see how you could be getting a break in the middle of a day.  Sorry if I'm just not understanding?

But to your question - " is it correct to assume that if I want to take an unpaid day off here and there they should accommodate. By this I mean if one family isn't bringing their child could I opt to take the whole day off?"

The answer is there is no "correct" answer and no, they don't have to accommodate you whenever you want to take an unpaid day off.  Of course, you could opt to take the whole day off if you want to, but it doesn't mean the families have to be happy about it.  Another thing that should have been in a contract.  Since you're leaving anyway, I guess you don't have to worry about it too much; but if you want to be in good-standing for references, I probably wouldn't go assuming they'll be totally fine with you randomly calling out on days when only one family needs you.[/quote]
