[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a nanny with a SAHM and it works out great especially for the kids.  Here’s what we do:

We have a loose “schedule” of responsibilities.  The mom likes dropping the oldest off at preschool and my charge likes me to pick him up.  Since I was a preschool teacher, I do a morning outing with the two-year-old that includes an art or nature project while the mom stays home with the baby (who is still nursing).  I make lunch and the mom reads to the 2.5 yr old (who doesn’t nap) while I pick up the 4 yr old.  Then the mom usually goes to the gym.  She’s home in time for me to do a reading lesson with the oldest and play with the two older kids together.  We all go out for a walk before dinner.

I don’t clean beyond the kids laundry and playroom.  The mom and I both cook for the kids - all healthful and fresh.  One day she takes the older two to swimming lessons while I play with the baby.

Everyday I know what we’re going to do and when she’s going to be unavailable so we can plan the kids day.  [/quote]

Several PP’s above are saying the nanny must become PT housekeeper. Would you be amenable to that?[/quote]

No.  I have a masters degree in ECE and all of the families I have ever worked for have housekeepers.  Plus I’m bad at housework.  I have someone clean my own apartment every other week.

But I know a number of lovely nannies who would be fine with housecleaning.  [/quote]
