I started being a nanny for a family whose twin boys were kicked out of several daycares. They also have a cleaning service come every 2 weeks. They are cutting them off because they want ME to do ALL the cleaning (scrubbing toilets, mopping all floors doing THEIR laundry, vacuuming, etc). I thought I was responsible for light cleaning such as laundry, the boys room, cooking and cleaning up after meals! I am not under any form or contract because I went through a nanny service. The nanny service told me that my thoughts on the nanny job description was correct, and that is what they tell parents who are looking for a nanny. The lady at the nanny service told me that they hired me at the rate their paying me now to take care of the boys, and if they want me to do extra, then they will have to pay me more (like $1.50 - 2.50 more an hour). She said to ask for a review and then tell them. However this family is very anal and upfront. She even made me a "schedule" for what cleaning duties are expected on each day, etc. Asking for a review would sound dumb.
The kids are very demanding. It makes it hard to get everything done that they want me to do within the hour they are sleeping. They require, and are given their parents' or any adults' attention at every waking moment.
The parents are well, intimidating. They are bouth in their mid 40s and are bosses. Dad in particular is anal, but mom can be too. Mom and dad seem to disregard anything I say. Should I maybe say it all in a letter instead?
What should I do?
