[quote=Anonymous]I have a job in mind but don't know what to call this position?   The ideal person would take care of my 3 mo. old twins and 3 year old, plus 3 other children under the age of 5 in a nanny share situation -- 7:30 a.m. to 7 pm.  Unless we're late, which we are.  Then it's later.

But several of these six infant/toddlers nap sometimes, and so I'm thinking that Nanny could make herself useful during naps by, it goes without saying, doing the children's laundry, switching out six sets of clothes and toys, and doing all the dishes related to the six of them.  Plus me and my husband.

What I was also wondering is, do you ever have Nanny mow the lawn and edge the grass while the babies -- who are the most important job, I'll tell her  -- sit in their high chairs with Cheerios?  On days that the lawn is fine, I was also thinking of having her take all the kids with her in her iffy car to the grocery store, because that would help me a lot.

I've never actually taken my own babies with me to the grocery store myself, but I imagine it's pretty easy and so I was thinking of not paying Nanny to do this extra thing.  Same for the lawn.  And the oil change.  And then I was thinking if she didn't want to do any of these things -- which is fine -- I could cut back her pay approx. $2 an hour (which would take it down to $13 an hour for six kids, some of whom WILL be napping).

Does this sound right?  Am I missing anything? [/quote]
