[quote=Anonymous]I think you are doing everything right, but where you are going to get blow back is that you're leaving them out of it.

You need to bring them into the process rather than presenting them with your new schedule + a sitter as a fait accompli. This is what will make an employer feel like s/he is being told how to manage her household and possibly lead to anger.

I suggest asking for a meeting where you tell them how much you love being your nanny kids' nanny, but after however long you've been working there, you have reached the end of your ability to work the long hours. Then present them with your plan.

They may come back to you with a different option, and that is something you will have to consider. If they, for example, offer to get someone to cover all evenings from 4:30 on, for example, or to take over Fridays entirely, cutting your overtime considerably, would you be ok with that? Because if I were presented with the need to get a second nanny, that is what I would do -- exchange the hassle and expense of another employee for less OT cost and a job with enough hours to be attractive to a candidate.[/quote]
