I've been in my current(and first) nanny job since sept '10
I work a 65 hour week living out Monday - Thursday 14 hour days and 9 hours on a Friday. I care for two little boys 17 months and 3 yrs, they dint go to nursery are just cared for by me, they both only have 20 mins sleep during the day. I cook all the childrens meals and I do all the family's laundry Inc clothes bedding towels suits ect and ironing, I also have to clean the whole 4 storey 5 bathroom 6 bedroom house every week, the is alongside buying groceries arranging activities making observation folders and running errands the children wake at 6 when I arrive and get into bed at 730 . I am paid £6 an hour gross?

Have you NO respect for yourself? Give them notice and find a nicer familly who treat you like a professional, not a slave!

They know they are being nasty to you and hope that you are too 'shy' to leave them. For goodness sakes, you don't even live in their house.

No wonder some people can have 6 bedroom houses Hmm

Crikey. I bet this family are one of those who have a clean house AND happy children. So that's how they do it! Wink

Good luck OP.
