First off they only pay 12$ an hour. They fired their last nanny for not performing all her duties, but she totally had the right idea.
They expect cleaning around their home. Cooking, not just for the kids, but for family meals as well.
They will cancel hours due to coming home early or staying home sick, and don,t pay me for my fully scheduled hours.
No gas stipend despite expecting transportation from school, and asking to take the kids places all over town.
Making me buy my own lunch. Or if they want me to take the kids for ice cream I have to buy my own.
And on top of all this it’s clear they aren’t financially unstable as they are doing major home renovations.
40 hours pays out less than 500$. No rest time, no breaks, no privacy. Even when when I need to use the restroom their kids are screaming at me to come back out.
The mother actually cried when I put in my notice, but got huffy when I said it was about pay, and I needed to look for other opportunities.
People are mad greedy yo.
It’s like they don’t look at me as an employee but like a serf who’s lucky to have a job. I have a bachelors degree, 5 years experience, early childhood education certification, and cpr.
If you want quality in-home childcare, be prepared to pay for it.
