[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Team nanny here.  Having the nanny help with the moving was the icing on the cake for me.  Having her do that, whether you paid her or not, shows that you didn't respect her.  Never in a million years would I ask a child care provider to do that.  [/quote]

Sadly this is the millennial attitude all around. “Not my job” whenever they are asked to do the slightest thing different or extra and the first question is always “will you pay me extra?” You will not meet anyone who did well at a job who did not occasionally do something beyond that job, and in this case it sounds like it was not that much to do.[/quote]

YEAH NO. I wish I had firmer boundaries before pandemic because things I previously did to be nice became my job during wahm. In addition to my regular duties, remote school, and kids related activities I was expected to be the housekeeper, chef, and all around do everything person for the same rate.[/quote]

If you are a nanny earning >$20/hr, meal prep, kids laundry, tidying up after kids, kid-related errands and taking kids to lessons ARE part of the job. If you’re good, you also arrange play dates, keep track of schoolwork, and occasionally do things related to the fact that you are at home during the day like let a workman in or easy errands. It’s not a big deal or shouldn’t be.[/quote]
