[quote=Anonymous]I will try to keep this short. 
I was asked to nanny for my close friend ( and mentor) who is a foster mom when she took on 5 kids under 2.5. Only 2 days a week. I quit my pt job so I could be accommodating to her. Things started off well but after my very first day alone with all 5 kids (about the second week ) they said to me that they expected the house spotless ( and mentioned a few other things about my nannying judgment ) they have 4 kids of their own who homeschool so I am home with 9 kids in my own. Yes their kids are expected to stay out of my way but it doesn't always happen. I felt really hurt by them commenting in the cleanliness of the house as I have known them for 3 years and it is not common for there house to be clean. I obviously didn't leave the house in a mess but I had 5 little kids who didnt nap at the Same time and has to get them all in the car for a visit with mom. It was a lot of work!!! 
This happened about 2 months ago but I still feel hurt by the comments.

Second comes pay. Because they are foster kids the government pays for child care. It is NOT at all a fair rate! 15 an hour. My friend knows I deserve more but it is what it is. This money does not come out of the $ they are paid to care for the kids. It's a completely sperate cheque. Originally I was told I would be paid for 16 hours regardless if I worked them because the government was paying. Well that hasn't been the case. There has been 2 stats and I haven't been paid for either one. They are pocketing the $. It doesn't se fair to me. I feel hurt and betrayed by them. I have poured so much of my heart time and money into there family. FOster kids included! I don't feel valued or appricated.
