[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - to be clear, am not planning to make her do cleaning work (we have actual cleaners for that). But we want to keep her for the same 28-30 hours going forward - DH and I stagger our hours and don’t need more than that, which she is fine with as well. However, trying to figure out more things for her to do. Household management sounds interesting - what tasks would be good, other than groceries and picking up dry cleaning? Also, anyone had success teaching a nanny how to cook? DD and DH and I all eat the same food (which I currently cook from scratch). But it would be a huge relief if she could spend an hour a day while DD is in preschool cooking it. She doesn’t know how to make food from my ethnicity though (yet).[/quote]

House management involves everything that has to do with the running of the house.  Our nanny handles all scheduling and payment for cleaners and gardener; all ordering of family supplies; handles repairs by scheduling and paying our handyman; scheduling and paying for all extra curricular stuff for kids.  We gave her an AmEx so she has complete control.

You could certainly ask your nanny if she is interested in cooking.  Anyone can learn to do all the prep work even if she isn’t comfortable cooking.  [/quote]
