[quote=Anonymous]I am a full time live in nanny that travels with the family over all holidays. For thanksgiving the family went on a cruise. The sleeping arrangements weren’t ideal: I shared the room with both kids, the room had 2 double beds where the boys shared a bed, while I slept in the other bed, and mom had separate room. My schedule for sea days was to handle wake up, get the kids ready for the day, take them to breakfast then kids club, then lunch, an activity/ pool time before dinner, then getting the kids dressed for dinner then bedtime and then I was on all night until the mom came back around midnight/ later when I could go to bed. On shore days I went with the family on excursions where I was fully in charge of the children, and then handled dinner and bedtime/ night care until mom came back. I was also on full time during each of the 6 hour flights. I worked a full week before the trip, 5 fourteen hour days, then the flight, then the entire cruise, and when we came back on the Sunday night handled bedtime and was up the next morning to get the kids ready for school and do drop off.

I was exhausted and things have been tense ever since. Last year the family did a 20+ day trip over Christmas with very much the same schedule only it was longer and I also worked Christmas morning and evening as well as New Years in addition to working the full week before we left and after we returned. How can I bring up / start the conversation with MB about needing either the day before or after each trip off? I’m honestly exhausted physically and emotionally after each trip and not sure how I’ll survive this years Christmas trip. [/quote]
