[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work 3 days a week and stay at home with toddler 2 days. Current nanny may be moving on (change in schedule) so we are reevaluating whether to look for someone else part time, or hire someone full time who can care for the toddler but also do food prep (chopping), run the vacuum in the living room, empty dishwasher, do our laundry on the 2 days I’m home. I take the toddler to classes, Dr appointments etc so I wouldn’t be here all the time (ie - I’m not going to just ask her to watch him 5 days a week because she’s here AND do everything else). We have a cleaning service so
no deep cleaning, more tidying.

Does anyone have any tips on how to find someone who would be open to this hybrid role? In the past the quality nanny candidates I’ve interviewed would not touch adult laundry with a 10 foot pole. Current nanny does kid laundry but if there’s something in the dryer as basic as sheets she will not even fold them. It’s very important to her to keep the separation to only kid duties. Ideally we’d love to find someone that can be with us long term and transition into a house manager role once kids are in school. No family in the area and spouses very demanding hours mean we can use more help, but I don’t want to have a cleaning person, a part time nanny and a part time housekeeper. Thoughts? Anyone care to share a job description for this type of role? Thanks [/quote]

You'd better be paying a minimum of $75/hr.  Nannies take care of children.  Housemaids run vacuum and do adult laundry.  Cooks do food prep.  You are looking for three people to do one job and you want them to stay with for the long run.  Dream on.  You would have to find undocumented because no one else is that desperate.[/quote]
