How would you feel?

I have been in a nannyshare for a little while and its going well!
However, one family have 3 Children which I have to do the school run.
The other family has 1 baby. And im finding it difficult to fit the babys routine around the school runs.
Also me and the mum of 3 don't see eye to eye.
I'm considering after my 1year is up to suggest to the mum of 1 working just for her?
They live on the same street - assosicates not friends.

I know this may sound bad - but I really enjoy looking after just the 1.

Wwyd?

Consider why the parents are in a nannyshare... could it be that they could not afford a nanny on their own.

What is proving trouble in terms of baby and the school run? Remember that babies quickly grow up, so any routine now is likely to change in a couple of months. In a nannyshare I feel the baby needs to fit in with the older children, just as they would if they all were part of the same family.

I agree with Nick. With one child a nanny is far from cheap option. Nanny-sharing can bring the cost down so it's comparable with a nursery or childminder. And shared nannies are often paid a percentage more than non-shared- are you willing to take a salary drop for an easier job.
How long does the school run take and how does it disrupt baby's routine? A lot of babies end up having the trip to school and back for older siblings. There should be some way to make it work... Or is your problem more that you don't get on with the mum?

babies just have to fit in with the other older children routines, every Tuesdays for example my bubba sleeps an 45mins/hour in the car,after+before activites she would normally sleep 2-2.5hrs in cot at home - tuesday teatime she is always shattered

If you and mum of 3, dont see eye to eye, then that is a different matter, and if can not be resolved to look for a new job - what are the issues?

I am sure that the mum of baby pays much less as it is a nannyshare and possibly could not pay you enough, but you could mention it to her BUT in doing this, she may alert mum of 3, that you are not happy and you may find yourself out of a job .....

You havent been in this job for a year and it wont look good on your cv if you leave and new employers ask you why, and you say you dont like/cant cope with looking after 4 children and only want a baby

Well we had a hiccup half way through and mum of baby said there is no way we are going to loose you and she spoke to DH about having me on thier own.
Mum of 3 is set in her ways and some what rude in her speach towards me - mum of 1 has picked up on this.
I am going to wait for the year to be up and then review the situation.
The baby doesnt have a good routine and if she doesnt sleep in her cot by tea time all hell breaks loose and to be fair i feel bad for her because she really needs her sleeps in her cot and if she sleeps at 2.30 she only has 30 minutes. I put her down at 12.45 and she will scream or sing for a good hour.

However, i was just wondering your views.
There are 2 different school runs.
