[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]new nanny here. Meaning, it is my first time nanny job though I worked with kids for years in other roles. When I signed up I agreed to many things but now when I have worked for 3 months I can hardly keep up. Do you guys think I can get out of some of my duties, or am I stuck? Like folding kiddo's laundry takes me forever, and then I told the family at the beginning  that i can load and unload dishwasher every morning, they were super happy about it. Now I do not think I can keep up anymore. Will they fire me if I tell them that I find less and less time to fulfill those additional duties?[/quote]

Your employers’ asks are very reasonable barring abnormal circumstances. Folding laundry is like a 30-min task 1x a week. Loading and unloading dishwasher is a 30-min task once a day. If you care for a young child then they probably nap for 2-3 hours and you can use part of that time. If you care for an older child then they can play independently while you do those things, or better yet, help you with them. My children have helped unload the dishwasher since they were three! I just remove all the sharp and breakable stuff first.[/quote]
