"'NewYork Chinsey Family" you can find unemployment... You were on the books. Tell them you have bills to pay too and if they want you back, you need income
FILE unemployment
I just quit my nanny family and took on a new one. Why? Because of their summer hours/pay.
Normal hours 24-28 a week, in the early morning and late afternoon. I had another job in the morning for 20/week. the 24-28 hour a week family wanted just 16-20 hours for the summer, right dab in the middle of the day (wouldn't be able to work for the other family); plus they were going to take two 2 week un-paid vacations. They had the never to tell me to take a job bar tending or flipping burgers-- instead of quitting them.
Well now instead of work 5 days a week for 44-48 hours a week (with 2 jobs) making about $670/week... I now work 4 days a week for 32 hours, making $600/week. Yes it less money, but less days, shorter days, and less driving!
So when a family shafts you for summer, replace them! The grass was greener on the other side for me. I am spending more then $70 less a week on gas/car maintenance. This was a worth while choice!
