Ohhh kay, here's the real clincher... she takes that half hour that she gave me to "sleep - in" and DEDUCTS it from my paycheck even AFTER she asked me to stop at the store and buy her some syrup for the kids' french toast.
Oh, but that's not alllllll, it gets better. She overpaid me by 25 cents. Did you hear what I said? 25 cents! So what does she say? "I'll get it back from you next week, you owe me 25 cents." WOW, did THAT really just happen? The lady ain't hurt'n for money by any means. I never mentioned the cost of the syrup, I let her have it.
Don't get me wrong, I love the lady, I mean she's cool as hell and a non judgmental person, raises her kids stellar. But seriously though? 25 cents??
Alright, here's the question my fellow forumers: I don't get paid for holidays or sick days or when I'm asked to come in late, obviously. Should I ditch this 'get your a#! out of bed at the crack of dawn' job or what?
Peace out,
the nanny
Umm if you have any self respect you would leave the job.
