It would take about 3 hours a week. Our toddler takes a 2 hours each day and she could do the chores during that time, but I also wouldn't mind if she does it while our child is awake.
How many times must it be said: NANNIES ARE NOT MAIDS!!!
Would you be insulted if you boss asked you to do the office vacuuming and office laundry?
If my boss offered to pay me a good wage for those duties, I would not be offended. I've gotten coffee, delivered flowers, cleaned the coffee machine even though I don't drink any coffee, etc. for past bosses. I've also told a boss, "That's not in my job description," with the expectation that I could get fired. No one has to do anything, of course, but I don't think asking should trigger outrage. The real question is, why do you look down on maids?
