[quote=Anonymous]Recently went from full-time to a new part-time job and an internship.  I am having trouble because any time I can't work (sickness, conflict with internship) or any time the family doesn't need me (parent has day off, they go out of town), I am losing hours.  I know I should have had this conversation up front, but I didn't realize just how many hours I would end up not working.  It also doesn't help that the family doesn't want me to work even if I have a runny nose--kids are 4 and almost 2, not babies--and I wasn't factoring in counting every little cold as an unpaid sick day.  It puts me in the position of debating whether to lie to my employer by taking some cough syrup and not mentioning that I'm under the weather or potentially falling behind on bills.  So far, my integrity is holding up, but if this continues all through cold and flu season I may need to find a new job.

So it is completely uncommon to get guaranteed pay as a part-time nanny?  Is this a benefit I could likely find with a new position?  How should I broach this conversation?[/quote]
