My cousin made it clear during the job interview and they still ask her! Maybe the nanny just doesn't want to deal with that again.

Doing the child’s laundry is part of a nanny’s job.

Not really. Do you really want your nanny in the laundry room while the baby is in the living room? Or folding clothes and ignoring the baby? You can't reliably do all the laundry while the baby naps. If you have a lot of really dirty laundry then I think it's reasonable to ask the nanny to throw a load in before she goes - like poopy stuff or spit up rags or really messy clothes when they start solids.
