[quote=Anonymous]I want to quit my nanny job sometimes, but when I think about saying goodbye to the little one I feel so guilty. I've been taking care of him for just over a year, since he was only a couple months old. On one hand I love my job because I'm not stuck at a desk all day. I get to dress comfortably and go out to the park, to swim with him, and other fun places. On the other hand this job requires me to work 10-1/2 hours a day, 5 days a week, that's just what their schedule demands. My best friend of many years is moving to my city from out of state in the coming months and it bugs me that I will still hardly see her because I work such long hours during the week.

My one year anniversary with the family was a few weeks ago and they totally ignored it. They are good about dates, I know they didn't forget and are just avoiding it to avoid talking about a raise. They regularly tell me how I do so much for them and how they want me to stay forever and they appreciate me so much, yet they don't give me some of the basic benefits so many other jobs offer, including nanny jobs. (Yep that's my fault too for not negotiating, I know). Just wish I knew what to do. I don't want to go back to working in an office all day but I also can't see working these long hours as a nanny and earning no benefits until the little one outgrows the need for a nanny.[/quote]
