Just wondering how many extras other families have?
My NF has a bunch - me (the main nanny); the night nanny and the weekend nanny; a daily housekeeper/laundry help; two drivers; a daily dog walker; gardener (who comes three times a week and tends all outside grounds and water) On the other side how many extras do you have? I have a weekly housekeeper (love her she makes everything so clean) & I have someone do my laundry. The things I just don't like doing

Mine have me: the nanny, and a part time housekeeper.
We technically have someone who does the garden\lawn, but he is not directly employed by us so I don't think he counts. Gardener is employed by the apartment/property manager and came with the house. IE he does all the gardens on the property and communal lawn areas and is included as part of the rent I can't imagine needing 3 nannies - how many kids does you nf have? My MB & DB spend weekends with the kids and DB tries to be home every evening to play with the kids/ read bedtime stories. MB has a weird work schedule and sometimes misses bedtime but she gets to stay home some mornings in exchange. I have no one. Occasionally I wish I had someone to wash the floors though |

| Just me, a 35hr/wk nanny, and they used to have a cleaner who came 1x/month for about an hour - haven't seen her in a few months though so I think they canceled that service. |

| We have a nanny that does light housekeeping for 45 hours a week. She does all laundry, changes bed linens, grocery shopping, light vacuum/mopping, dusting etc. I do the deep cleaning every 2 weeks. We have a lawn service because we have a huge yard. I wouldn't call it a gardner. We also have a dog walking service come once a day for a longer walk during the week. |

Family laundry, bed linens, dusting=/= light housekeeping. That's housekeeping. I'm sure the "light" refers to the compensation.
Anyway....my family has me, the nanny, who does childcare, and they have a bi-weekly cleaning service, which cracks me up since they have a two bedroom condo. They also do pea pod deliveries which I bring in and put away.

"What lazy parents."
More like workaholics probably. Why else would they have constant nanny care? Agree it is very sad for the kids. |

We have a nanny and we get the house cleaned once a month.
And in the summer we pay to have the lawn mowed 2x a month. Can't imagine the luxury of everything OP described! Way out of our price range. |
