[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep any additional tasks directly related to the child.  I would not have her do housekeeper or errrand duties, as that is not what a nanny is supposed to do.

Additional tasks that are position appropriate:

1. Volunteering at child/children's  school (field trips, lunch/recess supervision)
2. Light Organizing of toys/manipulatives in child's room
3. Lesson planning for after school (reading plan, following up on tutoring if scheduled) 
4. Laundry (wash fold sort)  for child/children only 
5. Snack or Light dinner prep[/quote]

#1 and #3 are not position appropriate. Those things should be taken care of by a parent, not just a hired worker. OP should absolutely outsource housework and cooking so she can spend time on those things instead.[/quote]

I disagree completely.  Our nanny is a former teacher and is far better equipped to handle those situations better than we are.  We hired her for this skill set.  As a mother, I love cooking with my kids (and we have a cleaning service for housework).  [/quote]
