[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before quitting, I would think about whether there is anothwr solution—e.g., you work M-T and they  find someone part time for Friday’s only, or they find a mother‘s helper to handle a few hours in the early morning or late evening a few days a week.  Or find a college student nanny to work 15 hours a week spread over a few days to give you a break during working hours to hit the gym, run errands, go to the dentist, etc.  If you like the job aside from the long hours, think carefully on whether another option might make it workable.[/quote]

This is another good approach unless there are other circumstances that are bad.  What OP describes are 70 hour work weeks, that's a FT and PT job combined. [/quote]

I was considering to tell them if they would be willing to hire someone part time to work in the evenings. I usually work from 6:30 am - 6:30 pm everyday so I was thinking maybe someone can come from 2:30-6:30. Kids are great. Mom and dad are alright, not the greatest bosses of all time but they’re ok. I would love to stay for the kids. [/quote]

OP, this would actually benefit them from a financial standpoint (although maybe they don't care).  OT is what kills me when I see our nanny's paycheck come out of our checking account, so if they hired two different people they wouldn't be paying either of you overtime.  (Which is something you ought to consider as well).[/quote]
