You should be writing down your working hours every day. If you are asked to stay home because the mother is working, then those are your working hours. If you are not working, then she can not ask you to stay home.

As for kids being rude and lying about you, that is hard to deal with. Parents will usually believe the kids over the nanny unless they really know the kid is a brat.

Yes, leave. Madali humanap ng mapasukan. Nobody should put up with such kind of a situation. It's your word against them and if anything worse happens you're the one to be blamed. My heart goes out for you. :(

If you write down all your working hours that you were not paid, you can complain to the labour and they will help you get paid.

No you have informed service Canada. Have you talked with ellejnoc? She had a similar problem with you and she's now out of that situation. Talk with her so she can give you pointers on what to do.

You can ask immigration what will happen if you quit but from what it says on the CIC website, live-in caregivers have the same rights as other temporary foreign workers and other temporary foreign workers have the right to quit their employment and stay in Canada while they look for another employer as long as they still have a valid work permit. Your current employer could give you a bad reference if a new employer asks about you but I think that is the worst they can do.

If you are in an abusive situation, I don't think anybody can blame you if you walk out with no notice but the link to the labour standards: http://www.labour.gov.on.ca/english/es/pubs/guide/help.php gives you their phone number and you can call them and ask. You should also make an appointment with them to make a claim about your unpaid hours. I hope you have that written down somewhere each time she made you stay home and babysit and did not pay you.

You should also talk to Service Canada about getting unemployment benefits. Usually you can't get them if you quit but I know of cases where people were forced to quit because of an abusive situation and were granted benefits because of that.

Did you say you were in Oshawa? If so, then you need to have worked 525 hours to qualify to get EI, see http://srv129.services.gc.ca/eiregions/eng/rates_cur.aspx?eiecon_nu=26

Hi,

J.....i forgot to told you that before when i ask for notice last december, i told my employer that i will be going. She said, i can't go back to Dubai or stay in canada..only in Phil. She said, give me 3 days to finalize things......so i read her mind that she will put drugs on my things because some sleep over guys use marijuana here. this is one reason why i don't want to give notice this time...

I want to make a move by not saying goodbye,kisses and hugs to her because she is EVIL!

I don't know what to say!!!! But you're not out of her house yet, are you? Be very careful. Make sure that you unpack and re-pack your things. I really don't know what to say. I hope you're out of there really soon. That is really scary.
