i'm working for a family with 3 mo old baby. house cleaning and laundry included plus dog walking, feeding etc. working almost 12 hours a day some days a little less but most of the days more than 12. i'm getting paid 20 per hour. for the past months im working for them they always send me home earlier than usual because they don't need my service and it's unfair for me because im expecting to get my salary in full, it's like i don't have guaranteed hours. NY area. am i underpaid?

just a question. how many hours a live in nanny works in a day and a week?
i'm currently live in for 5 days and works approx 12-13 hours a day. sometimes less but that's the max. getting 20 per hour. is this normal? 1 kid, plus household tasks and taking care of a dog.

am i overworked? was hired as a nanny with light housekeeping as per contract, but i'm doing everything inside the house, the baby is 4 mo. and barely sleeps long, so my time is literally limited to eat and do chores. apart from taking care of the baby, cleaning the house, i'm also in charge of the dog. 😫 working almost 12-13 hours a day. i mean im doing what they want me to do, but the mom is so demanding, they think i can work nonstop during the day and still have the energy to play with the baby. i'm so exhausted right now. ps im only paid 19 per hour 😜 NY based.
