[quote=Anonymous]OP, a lot of what you are asking for is housework and it doesn't sound like you communicated well with her what the expectations of the position were.

There are tiers of service. Self-starter or not, the people who did not treat me well and often "forgot" to pay me were certainly not experiencing the same level of service or "self-starting" my other family was.

It began even but did not end that way because no, I will not continue to pay for your child's activities out of my own pocket AND/OR do extra work that is far beyond our contracted agreement, etc. It went from plausible misunderstandings to abusive as they had unrealistic expectations of what a nanny was as they had not had a real one before.

For the other family, I would absolutely go above and beyond and do anything I could to help out and adored working with them. They were great.

Folks just need to set up a schedule that clarifies their expectations, preferably during the interview process. If that is not what was in the contract, you two can renegotiate or move on.

I think 9:22 has it right. Focus on the big picture. [/quote]
