[quote=Anonymous]MB here.  Do you have regular meetings to talk about how things are going?  If not, request one.  Ask if they are satisfied w/ how you are doing the job they hired you to do.

Ask if there are things (related to the care of the kid(s) that they would like to work on, change, improve, etc...

Then say that there is one thing you would like to discuss (maybe there are others - but I'm addressing the one here) and tell them that you have been doing a fair amount of work outside the original scope of the job, which you are happy to do generally when there is time, but you're starting to feel as though that "extra" work has become part of the regular expectations.  So you're sensing dissatisfaciton with your performance related to work you weren't hired to do.

Then let them respond.

You are an employee, you are entitled to regular performance review type conversations during which you should be able to talk about job creep, concerns you have, things you appreciate, etc...

If you don't talk to them the situation is not likely to change.  It may not change if you do talk to them, or perhaps it will improve significantly for the better.

I wouldn't go into this as needing a confrontation or having to quit when you haven't even had a conversation yet.  Just talk to them.[/quote]
