[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I currently nanny for a 5 month old at $18 per hour, 40 - 45 hour weeks. Last week DB asked if I would be up for a nanny share, as his co-worker are interested in doing one with them and me. I told him I would be open to it as long as I meet and " click" with the parents. This morning DB tells me how I will be been making X amount more than I am now for OT with the other family. Essentially they are expecting me to care for a 3 and 5 month old at $18 per hour and then $18 per hour for the 5 hours I will be a single child ( OT). What upsets me most is DB negotiated my salary with the other family without even speaking with me first.

I told DB that I charge more for two kids and that I abbé to be paid OT after 40 hours. He said his co-worker didn't want to go higher than that and they don't plan on paying OT. I plan to tell them I do not want to do a nanny share at that rate but fear I may lose my job. MB and DB really want this and I think they may find another nanny more on board. Help me![/quote]

Your employers are being ridiculous - why would anyone double their workload for the same amount of money?  And not paying overtime is illegal.  Chances are they cannot afford you and have just realized it.

Polish your resume and get ready to move on.  [b]Keep it extremely civil with your employers but make it clear that a share at the same rate of pay will not work for you and that overtime is demanded by law. [/b] [/quote]
