[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again, and I did do Google mapping, on an hour and twenty minute commute days, Google maps always estimates it will take me ~55 minutes to get to work. I'm not some irresponsible idiot, I'm someone who took a job, naive to just how bad the commute would be. I work 50 hours a week and am "salaried", so no overtime. Rent near where this family lives cost upwards of two weeks of my pay, unless I want to live somewhere unsafe. So don't act like I'm some terrible nanny. I stayed with the last family I was with for almost 6 years.[/quote]

Well actually you are an idiot if you took a job with no OT.  You just lost any sympathy I had for you.  Give ample notice.  It's not their fault. [/quote]

I'm not an idiot. I'm a nanny who worked for a very kind family that never, ever would have taken advantage of me. I was naive. When I asked about overtime for this job, I was told by both the agency and the parents that nannies did not get overtime and that I'd have guaranteed pay and be salaried, so I wouldn't "need" overtime and that on the days when the parents got home early, I'd get to leave early. They made it sound like a regular occurance, and that between days off and vacation, it would more than make up for it. I was mislead and manipulated.[/quote]
