[quote=Anonymous]I don't think this is too much to ask for, but your nanny could be worried that you will continue asking for more and more if she agrees to the arrangement. I'm always 100% happy to do housework pertaining to my charges, and I would consider a post that includes light housework to maybe mean sweeping, mopping, emptying the dishwasher, etc.

I would try to meet her in the middle. Tell her you really do need to sit down and define light housework. Ask her if she can compromise with you by maybe folding laundry but leaving it in a basket downstairs instead of putting clothes away. Also tell her that you aren't going to make her do more and more work as you grow comfortable with the arrangement and stick to that promise. I currently am working a job where the mom asked me the other day to just put the kids in front of the TV while I scrubbed her whole house and prepared dinner. That's not my job, and it's something I'm sure your nanny worries about getting into as well. [/quote]
