[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been with my nanny family for a year and a half. Things started off great, but from about month 6 on things have slowly gotten more difficult. Initially I was hired at 55 hours a week, at the 6 month mark they asked if I could occasionally help out in the evening while they searched for evening help. I spent the next 8 months working 60-68 hours a week (includes overnights).

They finally got a live in au pair to do the other hours and dropped mine to 45 a week. MB just had a second baby and announces she doesn’t think she needs me that much, can I make my hours 40 a week (Tuesday off). This is fine for me. Cut to three days later, she says they’re not sure if this was a good idea and  might need me to work more, but they’re not sure. Then they announce they need me to stay late Thursday night (14 hour day). Im trying to be empathetic to the fact she just had a baby but I’m finding this schedule stuff incredibly annoying. The pay is ok, market rate for the area but nothing special. I feel guilty but I think I want to quit. And probably quit nannying overall. How much time would you give it before deciding to leave?

Just quit. Two weeks notice is standard. Get your reference letter.[/quote]
