[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I think the cooking and grocery shopping are not desirable. The rest is doable. I wouldn't want to nanny and THEN be worried that the family I cooked for didn't like the food. Can you do the grocery shopping on the weekends or order instacart? [/quote]

I actually love to cook and am good at it, but am so over the Sisyphean nature of grocery shopping and how long it takes to shop, load/unload and cook. I will still do some but as a working mom I want the basics covered as it adds at least an hour back into my day.[/quote]

So this again begs the question of how someone could possibly do all that you are asking in 3 hours/day. If it takes an hour of your day to do this work, what makes you think someone else could do this and everything else you’re asking efficiently and effectively? Again, it doesn’t compute. You should adjust your expectations, make this a full-time job, or look to hire multiple people. [/quote]

OP: Again, this is not rocket science. Pick kid up from school, bring kid home, cook, supervise while cooking. On days while kid has ECs, pick kid up and take to ECs, grocery shop or run an errand during EC time. Throw in a load of laundry before or after the above. How is this hard? This is my current ice from 3-6 daily and this person does not even need to serve or clear dinner or do dishes. Kid loads & unloads the dishwasher as a chore.[/quote]
 
When SAHMs have kids in elementary school there are always “what do you DO all day, you waste of space” responses. But when someone proposes the exact same thing the SAHP parent would apparently do for only 3 hours a day, there’s an outcry that it’s physically impossible and actually requires a FT employee. Make up your minds.[/quote]

Of course it doesn’t require full time work. But you can’t find someone who will do it for 3 paid hours a day. Both things are very true. [/quote]

Exactly, even if it were possible (I’m not saying it’s not, but it’s VERY different when it’s your own house and kid) no one would want to do it for what, the $60-75/day and no benefits OP probably wants to offer? I’m just not seeing it. [/quote]
