[quote=Anonymous]Hi there! I have two dilemma I do not know how to de with and would love some input. No judgments or mean comments please. Thank you. 
First I nanny very part time for a family about 15 hours per week on 3 days a week. For some personal reasons to the family I won't discuss here, the parents are deciding to cut the hours down to 4 hours for a couple of weeks (Maybe 2 or 3 weeks), and it started this week. So my issue is that I still depend on the income for some bills, we do not have any contracts, and they are expecting me to start working again normally when they will be ready. But in the meantime I am debating if I should just find something else or ask them to pay for those hours since they are expecting me to keep my hours for them. They do not have any financial issues, so that's not the reason why they reduced my hours for a couple of weeks. I have been with them for over a year and they pay me $20 per hour. What would you do? 
Dilemma two is that I have been babysitting on a regular basis for a family, (I was also a part time any for them) for over 2 years, and they pay me $12 an hour for 2 kids since I have been with them. My issue is that I accept days with them in advance and later other families that pay me between $15-$25 an hour contact me, I do not cancel (I already made the commitment and I love the kids), but it is still work and sometimes I feel like I could use the money others are offering. I am not good with money discussions, so should I ask them to increase my base rate to at least $15? Other families just automAtically raise my base rate each year, even if it is occasionally babysitting. My question. Is what would you do? Thank you for your input?
