[quote=Anonymous]I guess that the expected things are that nanny is dependable, arrives on time, and truly cares about my children.  If those things are met, I can forgive almost anything else.  If those aren't met, then I am probably looking for someone else.

After that, I think a nanny can excel in three areas:
a)  housework.  the above vaccuming, cooking, general tidying of the house.  Also, being kind of a manager of the house, and being able to be there and tell the plumber what the problem is when he arrives, point out the stains when we get the carpets cleaned, etc.
b)  playing with the kids.  Doing crafts, making up fun games, teaching the kids their colors and numbers or math.  Playing dress up, practicing for the school play or getting that t-ball hit just right, being right on with when to discipline and when a kid is just having a rough day.
c)  managing the kids schedules.  Knowing when the school/preschool Christmas and Valentine's day parties are and getting the kids ready, making sure that they eat early on Wednesday nights because they have football, knowing when the try-outs are for baseball, writing down when we are out of things like diapers/wipes or laundry detergent or peanut-butter.
