[quote=Anonymous]As a nanny I feel that I should be flexible. When I'm working with my older charge who doesn't need to be supervised all the time I will definitely do some light housework such as loading/unloading the dishwasher, kid laundry, cleaning the playroom, etc. Some nannies aren't comfortable with doing much more than this because they don't want to become a nanny/housekeeper, which is understandable.

I think you should bring up the cleaning thing again with your nanny. Tell her that there are a few things around the house you'd like her to do that are child related: putting dishes away, doing kid laundry, having the child help clean their bedroom/playroom, etc. I would let her know that you don't expect her to be doing deep cleaning of the bathroom or anything crazy like that because that's not her job, and it will also make it hard for her to keep her eyes/ears on your kids.

If she flat out refuses again I would start looking for someone new to take her place. Make sure that you place in your ad that you need someone who is willing to do some housekeeping, and I'm sure you'll find someone who is![/quote]
