Since your original contract did specify what chores you would do it would be reasonable to ask for a new contract which lists the additional chores. If the chores are light and do not interfere with your attending to the child, ask for a small increase (3-5%). |

The tough part with people who have nannys in the first place is that they don't make time for their own children and don't respect anyone who does. You have to set boundaries. I think taking care of a child is a full time job on its own. You should not be doing other chores. Basic put away related to your activities is all that is fair. Anything else, ask for more dough or they'll keep adding to your job list and taking you for granted. Good luck. |

Depends on what the chores are and how hard it is. |

I would, but you should be very tactful and polite about it. |

Lol... unless your super nanny, I can't see why not, but before you get sacked, approach the money matters in a positive way... |

If you can't complete the additional chores in the time you're there... then charge them accordingly. |

I would not ask for more money until they started piling on the chores...who knows, if you show that you're willing to work harder, perhaps they will pay you more without asking. |

yea unless u wanna do the chores just to help out |

Yeh but really you should have asked for additional money when they asked you to do the extra chores. If you come out now and ask for more for doing them then it is a little weird and they could take offense. |

If they pay you well and treat you well I would let it go as long as it was not in excess.
However you do have the right to ask for more pay for more work. |
|

Mark

yes but be nice about it and if they refuse, refuse to keep the job |

heck yeah! tell them you're not free and you don't work for cheap either =) |
|

well, all depend what type of chores.. you don't give any examples.. but, if you have to help the child with their home work, or, help him to make his bed, or take him to dance class... well if the activities are in your schedule yo should do them. |
|

Brad

Yes, and you should ask for a certain amount extra per week, like $50, or $30 or something to that effect. |

Do you have another job lined up? |

Well you have to see both sides if there are things that you can do and it's not really out of your way then maybe you can just do them...ask yourself do you like the family? Do they treat good, overall? If your happy then don't get that picky because it's not always easy finding a family that will treat you right and maybe it won't hurt a little if you give a little...only you know your situation...you need to consider all things...but just don't get too picky about right away charging extra...you may need to ask for more money, but I would consider all things first before you make that move. |

Yes, you can absolutely renegotiate your pay. If you cut back your hours, for example, I'm sure they would talk about lowering your paycheck, right? Maybe add a percentage of your current wages for additional chores? |

No, if they are child related, in most cases that will be counted as "providing for the child" unless they have you scrubbing floors all day or something rediculous.
Most of the times the contract say "and other child related duties" - this would fall under that. |

Yes, you have the right to ask and you should if you sense that they expect you to do them.
If you are being kind, and up took additional chore inconsistently, fine make sure that it's perhaps making what you do a bit more convenient for you.
But, doing anything above and beyond what your contract states will only entice them to expect it without additional pay.
Confront them and sell your idea (as if they didn't know) on the additional work that you don't mind doing, but make mention that you'd like an "Amendment" or "Addendum" to your contract with a reasonable increase.
Contracts are binding. Any changes to what the original contract stipulates is a breach.
This is what I'd do, Good Luck to ya! |

I think that you are within your rights to ask for more money. I am not sure how much money it depends on what the extra chores they want you to do... And its really up to you to ask for more money. |
|

me

i wouldnt ask for addition pay for that unless they are out of your way or totally different from your normal duties. |
|
