[quote=Anonymous]MB from Canada here again, I also want to say that I understand that you love this family and want to keep this job, so it is a challenging situation for you. But if you think they might consider letting you go just because you stuck up for yourself and asked for fair treatment, then this would imply that they might not be as loyal to you as you are to them. To handle it diplomatically, I think you should say what you've said here, that you love the kids and feel like you have a great relationship with the family and hope that they can find a way to achieve what they want in terms of getting the tax deduction and the hours they need from you without reducing your net take-home pay, and point out that if they are to legalise the arrangement they will under the law need to treat you as an employee in other respects too, i.e. paid public holidays, vacation pay, paying you even if they don't need you when they take holidays, etc. Perhaps say that you will be as flexible in any other respects as you possibly can be in order to make this arrangement continue to work for both parties.

By the way, while you say you have a contract with them, it is not legally binding as they are currently employing you illegally. Any contract you agree to once you are legal must abide with labour regulations in terms of number of hours worked, paid vacation etc.[/quote]
