[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a nanny is using the house for 40 hours, it isn't unreasonable to expect to unload the dishes/load (they are probably using some as well) and help out with other chores.  Really, one baby is not big deal.  If you were talking 3-4 kid, I would think differently.  Funny how a SAHM can do all those things and more and a "nanny" who is paid to replace the mom cannot.[/quote]

She is paid to replace the mother in matters of childcare only.  A nanny should absolutely clean up after herself.  This goes without saying.
I have never once heard a nanny dispute this on DCUM ever.
A nanny is not a SAHM.  She is an employee who's job is to be involved in every aspect of caring for a child.
This includes hands-on care of the child, activity planning, activity clean-up, meal preparation, meal cleanup, child laundry, organizing of outgrown clothing, restocking of commonly used item (diapers, wipes, etc.)
It does not include making your bed.

This is Webster's definition of a nanny:

a person, typically a woman, employed to care for a child in its own home.

Nowhere does that say employed to make beds and wash adult underwear.
Pay for a flippin' maid![/quote]
