Hi,
I am an au pair plus working monday to friday morning.
Monday and wednesday from 8am to 6:30pm, I have a 2 years old boy with me all day; tuesday and thursday, he is at nursery and I have to do around 3 hours of cleaning each day then on friday, I just have to tidy up for an hour or so. I am paid 150 pounds a week, I live in their house and the dad (who is working from home) is asking me to clean this and this ... Basically, I am doing all the cleaning at home. I have to wash their clothes, putting back in the wardrobe, vaccumming every rooms, dusting and this morning, he even asked me to polish a wood table ...
I don't know if it's ok or is he pushing ? I mean, I am lucky because the salary is generous but I should rub the toilet as well but that I refused to do it ..
Just tell me your thoughts, I do my best, I clean but I feel like I am being used sometimes. Specially when he tells me to do something that he never did in his life and pretends that he does it all the time ...
