[quote=Anonymous]We hired a nanny/housekeeper and had ample wonderful candidates. My kids are in preschool and elementary school age level. Everyone either uses or beforecare/aftercare, an au pair or has a nanny who provides childcare, housekeeping and some level of meal preparation. A nanny who will only do one thing but expects to be paid for many hours with little or no work just doesn't fit with families who have kids in scholl 15-30 hours a week. heck the au pairs even do errands and share in family light housekeeping. For infants and young toddlers its more a mix but all the nannies do kid related chores and the majority do other light housekeeping. When our kids were little, it was a huge value having a nanny that did all laundry, grocery trip once a week and some light housekeeping during nap time.

If you don't want to do anything, you have limited options which I understand pisses you off. However, MBs are not going to hire someone who doesn't fit the job just because you feel entitled to a different type of job. I'm sure that there are families out there with a full house staff including a fulltime butler, housekeeper, chef, chauffer, and nanny. These jobs are fewer and you are welcome to search for them. You probably will not get the other perks of feel free to run your errands on the clock with our kids in tow on the way back from activities, sure you can bring your young niece over on a snow day and we'll pick you up and drive you home since we have a SUV, add your own food to the grocery list for your lunch, grandma's in town in next week she drives me nuts so you don't have to come in and you still get paid etc etc.

Its a choice you make but there are trade offs and you limit your opportunities but being unflexible in what you will or will not do. Simple. [/quote]
