[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]Its crazy to hire a nanny with nannydeb's attitude. As an employer, I get to choose the job responsibilities and qualifications for the position I am offering. I will not pay someone with a bad attitude to sit around doing nothing for 2-4 hours a day. Moms don't need someone who will simply keep herself entertained or stay busy doing random things. Moms need someone who will care for the kids and take care of light housekeeping as they would do if they were home. When my nanny goes on vacation, I follow the same routine doing non-child related tasks during nap time too. It makes no sense to sit in front of the television for hours everyday and then do everything late at night or on weekends. I can't imagine spending an hour after the kids go to bed and I finish working on-line to do the upkeep light housekeeping so a lazy nanny can be paid to do nothing all day.

I had no problem finding many qualified candidates who are NANNIES not just housekeepers. I also do not know anyone with a nanny who does not have them do some level of light housekeeping in addition to child related chores and activities. [/quote]

You must have missed the long list of things I do that qualify as light housekeeping?

As a potential employee, I get to choose NOT to deal with a potential employer's dirty laundry. I will not work for a grown adult who cannot comprehend that touching their unmentionables is disgusting to me for several reasons. I'll do a lot of things, and I have done a lot of things that qualify as light housekeeping, household management, and even personal assistant work, but I draw the line at heavy housework and adult laundry. And, remarkably, I still find work.  :roll: [/quote]
