[quote]I have been with my current nanny family going on about four years this January. In this time, things have been going very well.[/quote]

Is this the first time they've asked you to travel with them in 4 years?  Have they ever taken advantage before or nickel and dimed you?

[quote]Sounds perfect right??Since then, [b]I have told them often I appreciate them inviting me and that I would be willing to help out any way I can[/b]. [/quote]

This is confusing to me.  Did they say that you will just be hanging out and not "ON" while there?  What is it that you are so grateful for?  This leads me to believe they said you won't be working.

[quote]Basically my question is, [b]When someone offers you a free trip, on their dime and you accept graciously[/b], is it just a given that you are to do free favors for them in return since [quote]they have extended this wonderful opportunity for you[/quote]? Meaning work for free until then?
Or:[/quote]

is this the same trip that they will be also going on? or are they sending you on your own trip? otherwise why are you saying this is an opportunity, like they are giving you a scholarship

[quote]Should I have been told upfront that extra things would be expected of me?
For the past month, I was asked to housesit for MB's local sister for two weeks. I cared for two pitfalls (fed them, cleaned up their waste, bathed them and walked them.) The house was out of food, so I had to purchase my own food. She also left me some errands to perform. I had to mail 3 packages at the UPS store, pick up some library books on hold, pick up her medications at the pharmacy & drop off/pick up her dry cleaning work uniforms as well.
I just [u]assumed[/u] I would be paid a little something, a daily stipend for housesitting (my NF pays me $40/day when I house sat for them), but I wasn't paid a dime.[/quote]

Are you doing these things while also still working as a nanny for your family?  Are they not paying you at all since the ticket was purchased?  what is going on here?[/quote]
