[quote=Anonymous]Hi nannies and parents!!

I have a bit of a dilema that I could really use some help with. I have been with my nanny family for going on three years now. I love the children, and plan to stay with them for many years to come for that reason alone. There has been a few hiccups/problems through out the past couple of years but one is really sticking out lately and has been causing some issues.

I am often scheduled until late in the ending. For example, tonight I am scheduled until midnight. That normally would not be a problem, but they also have me scheduled to start work again at 6am. Which essentially means that I am only going to get 5.5 hours of sleep AT BEST. (That's figuring that it will take me about 30 minutes to fall asleep) This type of scheduling happens at least twice a month, but sometimes more. It leaves me in a state of being extremely exhausted the next day, and not able to give my all when I am working. (Giving my all every single day is something that I really pride myself in)

Someone PLEASE tell me that there is some sort of a law that states a minimum number of hours OFF in between shifts??! There has to be some sort of regulation when it comes to this.

Help?!
