Hi there,
I need some advice - I am a nanny for a great family and I work 3 days a week. I am thinking of taking on some extra work on the 1 or 2 days I don't work for them, due to financial difficulties. I have only been with them 4/5 months and the Mum asked me a couple of times at my interview if I was planning on taking on extra work, to which I said no. They pay me well, etc (but I also work very hard for them - which they've praised me for, several times). I'm quite a shy person and find it hard to talk to people, although during a cup of tea one day, when we were chatting I did mention my situation, just to get it off my chest as I have told no-one. I suppose what I'm trying to work out is whether I run me thinking of taking on extra work past my boss because I don't want anything to interfere with my job, as I really enjoy it and because they are extremely wealthy I don't want her to think I am hinting at any financial help which Im sure she won't but I am ashamed of my situation and it would kill me if they thought that. Any advice please xx
