its a bit long but want opinions.
I am a nanny, currently I start work at 7.30 in the morning but my family are never up so I end up sitting around doing nothing until 8 or sometimes even 8.30. Then I get them up. They work for themselves and pretty much choose the hours they work. They often ask me to babysit and never come home on time. I have no problem with any of this as I get the time back in lieu so it works out more or less.
However and this is a big however, my husband and I are splitting up (since yesterday). Usually my husband gets kids ready in morning but this will stop when I find somewhere else to live. I want to do a 50/50 split with the care of kids. My work family like my kids to be around so its all good.
I would like the kids to stay with me (everyday allday but being reasonable) monday to thursday and every other weekend. staying with their dad when he's not working. I'm going to stay in or very near the village we live in so their lives dont change much and they see me or their dad whenever they want) I can do this IF I start work later.
I want to ask my work family if I could start at 8.30 instead or even 8.15 would be okay. In return Ill offer to babysit ever other weekend. (should I offer this given I already work longer than was originally agreed, but really isnt a problem)
Anyway rambling what do you think?
