thats no lady ur working for.take ur wages and leave and leave her stuck for a childminder.she should be paying u at least 350 euro for all that.shes got some nerve saying u dont do enough to earn more.these sort of people can get quite aggresive so if u do tell her ur leaving her house of slavery make sure that you have someone with you sitting in a car

First of all, you don´t let your emotions overflow. Start looking for smth else and give your curent employer a two weeks notice. I am sure you will find smth else pretty soon. Do not walk out, you do not need bad references (even though your lady is a total freak, you might need to use her in future for references). Do not be afraid to have a conversation with her saying smth like you have recently been offered a different job with strictly childminding duties and a better pay. See how she reacts. Remind her of the initial agreement and revise the definition of "light housework". I have been there, done that...Nobody can make you do things against your will, just keep that in mind. Btw cleaners get 12-15 euro an hour, not 10 euro an hour, so you can also use it in the conversation. Good luck!

Hi, I think she is taking complete advantage of you. When you originally took the job what were the terms? I would tell her you are being paid to mind the baby and not iron her clothes and clean her jacks!! Cleaners get about €10 and is paying you less then €6 if you are doing 42 hrs a week. You defo need to sit down with her and sort things out or you will end up just leaving and both will be at a loss then.

Jeez girl.Get your wages and enjoy ur weekend.And dont go back.There are loads of people looking for childminders out there especially ones to do a bit of LIGHT housework.What a wagon!!Someone needs to tell ur one to come down off her high horse and be told that slavery is sooo last century!!I understand u need the money so maybe be clever for the next few wks and put a few bob xtra away and be looking for something else in the meantime.Your better than this,so the best of luck

Stand up for yourself woman!! This ´Lady´ and I use that term very loosely,needs to learn to treat people with the dignity and respect they deserve.I´m a childminder myself ,I also do cleaning etc,etc.However the lady I work for treats me really well.My wages are pretty crap too and hours veeery long but I´m made to feel appreciated (not in a monetary way mind) .A little thanks goes a long way,I really love the little girl I mind and I treat her as my own.They in turn make me feel part of their family ,it works both ways.If I were you I would find myself alternative employment,you deserve respect,childminding is a very rewarding occupation but you can be really taken advantage of by some not very pleasant parents,you´ve just been unlucky on this occasion,try again.Wishing you the very best of luck,keep the faith,when you find decent ,kind employers it´s a lovely rewarding occupation .
