[quote=nannydebsays]MB, I wanted to talk to you about all the work I have been doing for your friends in the neighborhood. I so appreciate the trust you have in me that makes you comfortable offering my services to your friends. However, I would like a little more control over my schedule. I'd like to suggest that we figure out how many hours a week you will need my services, and that we determine a schedule one month ahead. Then I will know when I am free to work elsewhere. (Of course, I would prefer to have guaranteed number of hours here, and be paid for those hours regardless of your needs.)"

If you want to work, then you can say something about "I am happy to help your neighbors when I am not needed here. However, I want to speak with them directly to set up a schedule surrounding your needs. Naturally, giving me your schedule 1 month in advance will allow me to block out those specific times for you and then supplement with work for the neighbors!"

If you don't want to work , then ask for the hours to be set in advance for her, and choose to find other work when she isn't needing your services.

Of course, you will also have to learn to say, "No, I cannot work for you tomorrow MB. Tomorrow was not listed in your advance schedule, and I am working for the Smith family that day." "No, MB, I cannot watch your kids as well as the Smith kids. I understand you have had a scheduling glitch, but I have committed those hours to the Smith family."

I absolutely get your aggravation. You can make this work if you take control back from your MB. Or you can find another position and give the neighborhood notice. Good luck![/quote]
