I (f20) am completely and entirely burnt the hell out by my job. I’m a nanny (while I finish school then I won’t work with children ever again) and the kids aren’t necessarily awful or anything, it’s that I think I’m totally underpaid.
I do all of the following:
Fold all laundry
Vacuum house
Dishes
Pick up around the house
As well as take care of two kiddos and whatever their needs may include for the day. I only get $15 an hour. From what I’ve seen, that is seriously being underpaid and when I started they told me they $15 per hour is the highest they can pay. I’m only going to be at this job until May or June but it’s driving me crazy. I also feel awful because it’s family friends so it’s not like I’ll never see this family again. I’m just so burnt out by my job and I’m at the point where I had a dream last night I got fired and I felt complete relief, not sadness. I just want to cry every morning when I wake up to go to this job, I hate every part of it.
Summary: I’m an underpaid nanny and I am burnt out, I don’t even care if I get fired anymore or not.
