[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a Nanny to a family for about fifteen mos.

I was referred to them by a close friend of theirs that I had worked for prior, about ten yrs.
We always have had a great relationship and they appreciated my work which is why they referred me to their good friend.
Sounds awesome, right?
Nope.

This new family has been a nightmare to work for, these past few mos.
For instance, they agreed on a specific hourly rate and have paid me less.
When I brought it up to them - they claimed that they never agreed on such a rate.

Now I see the importance of a written contract!
I also have caught them in multiple lies over the past few mos. & I am to the point where I feel extremely uncomfortable around them.
I love the kids and will miss them greatly but I just cannot continue on like this.

They treat me like the “hired help” and I noticed they shortchanged me again (!) on today’s paycheck.

I plan on not showing up next wk. since I am not making the agreed upon rate, but am afraid my relationship w/my former employers will be negatively impacted.
Yet I cannot continue letting this current family shortchange me.
Any advice appreciated here.[/quote]

I agree with the other PPs.

1. You give your notice immediately.
2. Start looking for a new job.
3. Have a contract ready for the new family to tweak.[/quote]
