She should.

I couldn’t imagine working for any of these horrible posters in this thread demanding more work for same pay. [/quote]

How are they demanding more work?!  It’s just different work!

You’re being utterly ridiculous, PP.  [/quote]

You should try to calm down. You sound ridiculously bothered and offended. If you don’t agree then you don’t agree.

Then you need to reread the Op. Lastly, you need to gain an understanding of what it takes to actually put together a curriculum for a 5 year old. [/quote]

I am nanny and a former teacher so I understand exactly what putting together a curriculum for a five-year-old looks like.  OP isn’t asking for constant tutoring.  She’s asking for more enriching activities.  This is not difficult to do for a nanny who is a former preschool teacher and art teacher.

And yes, the attitudes of some posters does bother me.  These posters present nannies as inflexible, money-grubbing imbeciles incapable of coming up with a few fun and enriching activities for their charges (who are suddenly stuck home without structure or socialization of preschool).  [/quote]

Agreed!  This job is about our charges, and OP is asking for reasonable changes to make her DD’s day less monotonous and more structured.  I really don’t understand why this is even a question.  My charges have always viewed days off school as either field trip days or project days; that this child doesn’t means that the nanny isn’t doing much.[/quote]
