[quote=Anonymous][quote]We all recognize that nanny housekeeper jobs are common. The outrage you find with many nannies on this board is when a position that was, when hired, a nannying job, but because the employer can't stomache that nanny may not be occupied every second of every day and tries to add duties not formerly agreed upon or properly compensated for. If you are honest in your ads and interviews OP this should not be a problem. Nanny/housekeeper jobs command a higher hourly rate so a nanny who charges $15/hour for nanny duties may charge $16-$17/hour for nanny/housekeeper duties. If you want to stick with $15/hour you will find yourself interviewing the previously $10-$12/hour nannies and that may be fine with you.[/quote]

Not true. We had no problem finding nannies that were willing to do light housekeeping in the normal range of $15. Its not a good idea to hire a nanny who is seeking a job with no light housekeeping and only considers it as a premium anyway. These are the nannies with low work ethic. Rates are more affected by number of hours per week and location than the tasks in a job. [/quote]
