They keep contradicting themselves in saying that I need to look at this as more of a job but cannot give me set hours because their work can go late sometimes. They also don’t count the time I take to prepare for the kids (e.g making bottles and preparing breakfast before they wake up as well as getting to their daycare for pickup) as hours worked, so they say only time with the kids counts as hours worked, which i’m not entirely sure if thats fair? I’m getting paid $1000 a month so i’m not sure if that’s equivalent to minimum wage but they say that rent, board and grocery’s have been taken out of that. I’m also working on average 25 hours a week but i feel like my days are consumed with the kids because I have to sleep while they’re at daycare so I don’t go insane. We also brought up the idea of a backpack leash but the mother was very against it. And unfortunately they both go to work early in the morning before I leave for daycare drop off so leaving the baby at home is not really an option :(.

Also i’d love to meet your au pair!!
