[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a sticky situation because all nannies know don't start doing things you're not suppose to because it will become part of your job. Some employers are truly appreciative but others will exploit it.
So beware..think carefully before you do that extra chore and don't ever do it back to back..do it then let them do it a couple times themselves.
So they won't start counting on it being done by you[/quote]

Thanks. I realize that now of course, but its said on here repeatedly by MBs that going above and beyond is what earns bonuses and raises from them. Knowing this, I went into the job trying to help out here and there where I could, and at first they were elated and would thank me every time. Now instead of thank you, I get guilt trips when I don't have time to do something that isn't even really my job. If I had gotten a raise I could completely see those extras being assumed my responsibility now, but since I didn't I don't understand how she could logically expect that I will take them on as though they are. Its not like she doesn't remember what my contracted duties are either, since we went over the contract prior to adding the new family.[/quote]
