[quote=nannydebsays]Tell them that based on your hourly rate, you can work X hours for $500/week. Suggest that they make a list of when they will want you to work, so that there are clear expectations and no surprises. And when they go over their daily hours the first time, remind them that they are only paying for X hours, and ask what day they want to trim an hour from so that they pay you correctly for working while they are on vacation. You can set firm boundaries without being rude. If they can't respect those boundaries, then continuing to work for them is a bad idea. And unless you specifically said to them, "Yes, I will go along for $x now that we have worked out all the specifics of my hours and duties." buying your ticket was a great way for them to guilt you into joining them for half price, wasn't it? Good luck! Hope you come back and let us know how it went.[/quote]
