[quote=Anonymous]Why do new parents seem to think that "nanny" means "housekeeper"?  I have a graduate degree in Early Childhood Development and make clear in interviews that I will do anything and everything that concerns the baby - do the baby's laundry, clean the baby's bathroom, clean the baby's room, wash the baby's bottles, etc.  But my number one priority is to engage and keep the baby stimulated and learning when awake and safe when asleep.  Maid services are cheaper that I am - so why do all new parents seem to feel that making their bed, emptying their dishwasher and doing their laundry is part of a nanny's job?  Don't they want me to have my eyes on their baby at all times?  Is their child's health and safety less important than unloading their dishwasher?
Since I specialize in infant/baby care, I am usually stuck with new parents who have never had a nanny before and it is frustrating to know that they will never realize how good I truly am until I'm gone and they can compare me to their next nanny. 
So, new parents, if your baby is happy and secure in his/her nanny's care and if your baby is learning and hitting all developmental milestones, be grateful - you have a good nanny.   And make your own bed.   [/quote]
