Not sure if this is the right place to post but I would appreciate some advice.
Im working for a family as a nanny but have been offered a job working as an assistant for a childminder. I'm training to be a childminder right now so the experience would be great. My dilemma is the family I'm working for I can have my daughter with me the childminding setting I can't. I have found a childminder to have my daughter four afternoons after school in the week and over the summer holidays. As by September I should be registered and working for myself so she will be with me then so the childcare for her would only be temporary. My problem is the family I work for have caused a lot of stress. Sending texts back and forth everyday. Asking me to work extra days I'm not contracted to then making me feel guilty because I've got other appointments. My daughter was in hospital having surgery and I was still getting texts saying that the new job had fallen through because I was at the hospital and they were unable to do the trial! Trying to guilt trip me as per!! It's been like this since the day I started! They've tried changing my days hours even pay!! Got the hump when I tried to sort out work the days I'm not contracted to work for them because then they can't call upon me at there beck and call. All my friends think I should take this new opportunity even though I do have to find childcare. I just don't know what to do!!! I have to make my mind up by Friday!! What would you do?
