[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your nanny does sound very young. I don't think she fully grasps her ability to say "no" nor does she understand what being "taken advantage of" means. If she is agreeing to stay late and is being paid time and a half for it - then you are NOT taking advantage of her. I would explain this to her. You do need to find a second babysitter, OP, as the job (as you described) is too much for your nanny. Cut her back to 40 hours a week (maybe four days and no evening sitting) and hire a second nanny for the fifth day and all evening work. [/quote] This happens to me all the time. I never say no. But in reality I don't want to work extra. 55 hrs is enough for me. I don't tell my employers because I don't want to upset them and they have never had back up care. When I'm asked to work extra 2-3 times a week I sometimes want to scream.[/quote] You have to learn to say "no", PP or you will have a miserable working life in any career. [/quote]
