[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 2.5 year old won't nap for much longer. So, you are going to be paying someone to basically ignore your kid so they can do chores. [/quote]

OP here and as I’ve said multiple times, the chores would be for when DD is in preschool, or in class with us. Not when she’s at home.[/quote]

AND the point made to you multiple times is that you will not find an educated nanny who will do household chores.  Why would they when they can easily find a position without them?  Your former preschool teacher nanny types don’t want to be sitting around all day and don’t do your DH’s laundry.

But try your way - let us know how it works out.  [/quote]

So you will change your charge’s diaper, clean up his vomit, etc, but you draw the line at laundry?

Did your schooling uniquely qualify you for diaper duty?

There are clearly aspects of the job that do not fit the traditional description of “professional.”  It seems pretty convenient that you draw the line, based on your education, at light housework in light of other duties.[/quote]

There is so much more to bring a nanny than diaper changes. (However, just today I was talking about how to do diaper changes on a 14 month old that prepares him for toilet training). And yes, I draw the line at anything that isn’t directly related to the child.  I do anything and everything for the child in my care which includes his/her laundry, cooking, ordering, keeping track of class and teacher payments, his grocery shopping, organizing his closet, etc.  It is a very clear line, PP, and very obvious.

That’s great. And also I don’t care. I don’t want a nanny like you. I want a domestic worker who will actually do the job I need done. [/quote]

And that is fine, PP.  Please calm down.  I am sure you’ll find who you are looking for.  [/quote]
