[quote=Anonymous][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]

No,you're an idiot.  You know enough to post on here, so have no idea why you wouldn't have taken the time to post about that pay situation.   Every nanny on here would tell you to run because 1.  Nannies aren't salaried and 2. It allows employers to take advantage of you.

This is your own doing. Quit and do diligent research before getting your next job. [/quote]
