[quote=Anonymous]It doesn't sound like OP is trying to squeeze every last bit of work out of her at all.  She says she's trying to get "kids dishes, kids laundry, tidy toys and kids bedrooms."  So basic cleaning up after yourself during the day stuff, plus throwing in a load of laundry.

I agree with you that I want my nanny to care for my kid and to be happy and energetic, but I would be miserable if that meant that I came home every day to all their dishes from the day piled up on the sink and toys everywhere.

Even if you have young kids, it shouldn't be that difficult to maintain some order during the day.  Throw the dishes in the dishwasher immediately after you eat, pick up toys before you get something else out, throw a load of laundry in for 2 minutes while the kid is playing next to you.  Not that hard, and I don't think that distracts from child care hardly a bit.

Now I can't see asking for heavy housekeeping that has nothing to do with the kids, unless you're building that into the contract and compensation (and allowing time for it).  That's not even close to what OP is asking about.[/quote]
