RUN!!! The Indians do not pay, don’t believe me?? Go to a site called sulekha.com I made the mistake of signing up there and parents were only willing to offer between 10-$18 hourly. They want you to do EVERYTHING for that rate including cook family meals. I would NEVER work for an Indian family

Yikes!
That is very sneaky of your boss to do……
She is likely hoping you won’t notice!!
I would quit on-the-spot if you can afford to do so.
Plus $14/HR is not much money, even for one child.
Let this family find a new sucker.

Were you hired for two babies? If not, tell them they have to pay double.

$14/HR is a very. low. wage considering you also have light housekeeping duties to do as well.
Even if it is all ca$h, it is still much too low.
Op here. It is low but it’s only for another month. I am a college student and need money to pay my school fees and books next semester. I have another job (not childcare) that begins at the end of August. I timed the extra bottles and clothes and it takes another 10 mins. I’m just going to hold onto it and make the best of the next few weeks. I think the guests will be leaving shortly so I should have less bottles and clothes to fold. I get soooooo bored and sleepy because I am in the babies room and it’s dark. I need to get a light to attach to a book.
Since you need the money and they are conveniently close, tough it out for the month if you want but don’t do the extra laundry. Put it aside in a basket. My nanny does this with any laundry that is not DD’s since sometimes we throw our extra laundry in a load to save water if there is room. If they comment about it, tell them you only do your charge’s dishes and laundry. They know they got a great setup with having you do early mornings for only $14 and are not going to rock the boat.

Are you still working this job? I don’t know where you are living but $14 is below DC minimum wage. It’s also less than what many fast food restaurants and retail stores are offering. I really don’t understand why you don’t find a new job where you’d make more money and not have to deal with this family. For reference, I’ve paid a college student $22-$25 per hour when I’ve needed care outside of my child’s nanny. While I live in DC a for several months of the year, I also spend months of the year in an area with a much lower cost of living (husband’s career) and I’ve always paid the same. The work doesn’t change depending on location. $14 is absurd.

I think it’s best tho to cut your losses and move on especially at that less than minimum wage rate.
Op here. I think you’re right and I notice a difference between this job and the job where I am paid $25 an hour. For me it’s just the principle and no discussion or increase in pay. It’s so odd. This is a cash job though. There’s no way I would accept this rate if I paid taxes. It’s so little hours and with low pay I barely make $200 a week. I timed it yesterday and it took me 5 mins to wash the toddler bottles and another 10 to fold her clothes. If I don’t say anything now I will say something before I give notice. I have already told them I have college in August. They will need a nanny at some point soon and they won’t be able to keep one if they keep this up.
Even paying cash I wouldn’t accept a 14$ an hour job.

I wouldn’t be all that bothered by a random bra or another kids clothes though personally.
Where is the toddler while you are working and have the baby?
It’s not just a few random clothes. At least 1-2 days it almost all of the toddlers clothes and everyday she has 4-5 bottles. I don’t know why a toddler is still using a bottle but they aren’t my charges bottles. They place everything in a dirty bin. These aren’t just random things in a kitchen sink. The toddler is sleeping because I work 5-8 or 9 am.

At first I didn’t put it together but my mom boss has her brother and his daughter visiting. They have been visiting for a few WEEKS. This girls laundry is in the dryer at least 2 of my working days mixed with the babies clothes. The girl is only 1-2. I thought maybe they bought new clothes for the baby or were gifted clothes and wanted to wash them but now I realize it’s not my charges. I’m so mad they didn’t speak to me about it first and also they aren’t compensating me extra. I do have a lot of downtime because I’m only here in the morning hours but it’s the principle. I am also getting sick of waking up at 4:30 am everyday and I have a weekend job that pays $11 more. I have told this job I am only available for another month because I go back to college. They are my neighbors. They live 5 or so houses down from me but I met them through care.com. People warned me not to work for them because immigrant families sometimes do stuff like this. They are Indian and I wanted to give it a shot. Other than this the job is fine. It’s really been bugging me lately and I don’t know what to do. Since the job is temporary I was thinking just to let it go but I can’t seem to do that! Today mb even had a bra and underwear in the dryer and that has “accidentally “ happened before. My college is also local so I they think I may decide to work in the fall because I did mention we would have to see about a schedule. First it was baby laundry and bottles. On my first day she also include pumping parts. I’m doing all of this for only $14 an hour.
