[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve seen nanny housekeeper jobs posted. I think expectations should be very clear, ie 1 hour of childcare 3 hours of cleaning. This is probably easily managed.

And be clear in what you’re looking for in each, for example in that hour housekeeper/nanny drives kids to school. In the three hours cleans out the fridge, wipes it down, runs laundry, cleans a bathroom, cleans fruit and veggies for the week. Simple stuff like that.

[b]I think $30 an hour is more than fair for this kind of work, but you’ll find plenty of folks expecting much more than that on DCum[/b][/quote]

Because you can’t support yourself (let alone a family) on $30 an hour in the DC area.  Is that fair?[/quote]

Are you kidding me? With guaranteed 40 hours, that’s over $60k[/quote]

Ok, do you want me to clean or watch your kids?  Pick one.

Both, if my kid is not around or sleeping, I’d prefer someone who can clean to help with my daily life. If you don’t want to do that, don’t. [/quote]

Does your boss march into your office with a mop and a toilet brush when you have a little downtime and tell you to get to work?  Just curious.[/quote]

Actually yes, when I worked retail and food service this was an expected part of the job. Sometimes I had to clean the bathrooms, such is life when you work in that industry. Similar to domestic help. [/quote]
