[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Saying most nannies don't want to clean houses as part of their iob is like saying most teachers don't want to clean schools as part of their job. No kidding. Nannies are hired for their childcare qualifications and skills.

So, OP, you want to hire a housekeeper. One who likes kids and is happy with some childcare duties shouldn't be difficult at all, but do consider offering guaranteed hours if you're needing 25+ hours per week. It will help you get better and more qualified applicants.[/quote]

All the teachers I know do a major amount of cleaning in their classrooms.  Not sure if your point was that teachers don't clean and therefore nannies shouldn't either, but if so, you should talk to more teachers...[/quote]

Also, teachers are credentialed and licensed professionals.  Nannies are not.  A nanny job entails whatever duties the employer specifies, and there are absolutely women out there who specialize in nanny/housekeeper jobs and are perfectly happy to cook, clean and do errands in addition to providing childcare.  They tend to be career domestic employees, a bit older than the average nanny and often foreign-born.  Your typical 20-something college student or new grad who is working as a nanny while she figures out what to do with her life will not be interested in this kind of job.  [/quote]
