[quote=Anonymous]I disagree that just because a Nanny needs some rest when her charge is napping means that she needs to go to a lab and get her blood numbers checked??

Many parents take a nap while their child naps.
If a Nanny is doing a full day, if she can rest for a little bit then when child wakes up, the Nanny will be refreshed + reenergized for the rest of her shift.
Happy Nanny = Happy Child = Happy Parents.
Win win.

I have never been asked to do child’s laundry.
I have had jobs in the past where families assign daily chores.
The problem with this is that the stress of completing the chores of the day unfortunately distract me from having fun with the child.
Or I may sacrifice some play time to perform chores in order to get them done so I can relax and enjoy the rest of the day.
Or I might do them earlier so when the child is napping I can eat lunch in peace or simply catch up on emails/phone calls.

I flourish best in jobs where my only focus is on the child.
Of course I wash any dishes/bottles used, pick up any toys played with as well as sweep up any floor crumbs or empty the diaper pail out if I see that it is full.[/quote]
