It isn't extra chores. That is part of your job and the other part is to respect their culture just like you want them to respect yours.

Do you really need to get nasty? What's "extra" indeed isn't "extra" if you're used to it.

Let's put it this way: I would never ask my Jewish nanny to put up the Christmas tree with DS and place baby Jesus ornaments all over it. I assume this meat and dairy separate is some sort of Jewish "trial" that shows your devotion to whatever their god is, am I right? Then therefore it would be highly inappropriate to force that trial/devotion-excercise on a nanny.....


Think about it.

No, we don't. That's the whole point. You want extra? You pay for extra. That's how it works.

Good grief some of you nannies are lazy!

How's this for a compairison...I nannied for a family with an infant and a preschooler. I HAND WASHED the baby's bottles and pacifiers and machine washed the preschooler's sippy cups (separated the rubber pieces too!). Then I was magically able to put all of the pieces back together and away in, wait for it, DIFFERENT cabinets. Did I charge extra for this?? No. Because it was a part of my job and I am not a lazy, obnoxious, rude person. It is a wonder some of you, though I suspect just one on this thread, are able to keep a job.

Key point: you thought it was part of your regular job.

Now, if a Muslim family wanted you to wear a burka in their house, would you?
Be honest here.

Not even close. But yes, if I accepted a job with a strict muslim family knowing that they required their non-muslim nanny to wear a hijab (more likely, though really, not likely at all) I would wear it, out of respect for them. I would not, however, take a job claiming to be compliant and then deliberately be disrespectful.

Again though, this is an entirely different situation. Essentially we are talking abut dishes. Are you really that lazy that you would be so as inflammatory as to compare kosher practices to wearing a burka?

You know nothing of the unemployed poor, who will take any job they can get. And give it a go.

You think Jewish practices are superior to Muslim practices?

Extra pay for what? If your job is to feed the kids and make meals, in their home you do it their way.

Jews don't care if you believe what we believe. But if you take a job, you need to respect that and it really isn't difficult. If you can't do the basic functions of your job, you're a moron.

We're Jewish and are vegetarian. Much easier.

then hire a vegetarian jewish housekeeper.
don't complain if the non believer does what she likes.
