[quote=Anonymous]OP is being paid while her employer is away on the assumption that she is reserving her availability for them.  She should really check with Family B before accepting any other employment to make sure they don't expect to need her for alternative tasks while they are away and to make sure their plans are firm and not likely to change.  If their plans change and they suddenly need her, she would be obligated to cancel on family A because that is the basis for her acceptance of guaranteed pay from Family B.

As for family A not paying while they are on vacation, getting paid when the employer doesn't need your services is a perk that must be negotiated.  Your rate with family A was set based on their expectation that they would pay only when they need you.  This is very common with part time jobs.  Also, if OP approaches family A about getting paid when they vacation, it would be entirely appropriate for them to require that she bank those hours to offset any future overtime, or make up hours on a date night here and there, or come in and do alternative work (such as taking in mail, cooking to stock the freezer, sanitizing and organizing toys, planning educational activities, etc.) while they are out of town.  Telling your employer after you've been hired that you want to be paid for not working during their vacations, even if you have already used your paid time off, is not likely to be received well.[/quote]
