I am sorry I was lurking on this board and had to post. You are only getting paid 180 a week as a nanny? You care for 2 children and sometimes have them over night? Do you not have a contract? How many kids do you have? How long have you been doing this? Was this the agreement you have the kids over night at times?
I can honestly say you are not only under paid but grossly under paid.Please tell me you live in a very low cost area. I know that in home daycare providers around here are paid about that much a week and they don't have children stay overnights in there home with out getting paid more for overnights.
Check out the cost of local daycare to get some ideas....maybe check out some nanny agencies.
I hope you can put your foot down and get more money. I'm sure it doesn't help you if you're losing money trying to help them
Let us know how it's going!
