[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on what OP is saying here, I'd schedule a three-way meeting to discuss how your work is going. Then ask them together, how long are they hoping that you'll continue working with their children. It's essential to present this question to them together, because they are obviously in disagreement about the continued need for your work. Then you evaluate what they say and how they say it. Bottom line is, you need to determine if you trust what they tell you.

I sense that you don't much trust them and therefore you should protect yourself from any sudden lay-off, and get another job first. Do you agree that they are pinching pennies and can't afford you, or is the father being selfish?

OP here: thank you for your input and advice! To be honest, it came as a huge shock to me when DB told me everything. In the 13 months I've been here, I've never once sensed that they had any money issues or trouble paying me. They are the type of family that doesn't have a massive house but splurges on other things like nice vacations, cars, etc.

It's not that I don't trust them but I was very taken aback when DB told me his friends are "astonished" when he tells them what they pay me. It just came off as if he was trying to say as a nanny, I'm not worth what I make. It's just frustrating because I easily could have taken a job in Boston or New York and would have been making $20/hr+ in a similiar position but I chose them because we were an awesome match! I think I'm going to text MB about us 3 sitting down and talking about my future with them and go from there.[/quote]
