[quote=Anonymous]Basically anything child related.

So yes, making sure the play areas are picked up as well as the dishes/bottles are washed or at least loaded into the dishwasher.

Most nannies will also be expected to sweep up any stray crumbs on the floor, wipe the counters after use and always wipe down the table and high chair after meals.

You can ask for the nannies to do extra duties such as baby's laundry, wiping down the stroller, organizing closets and cupboards as well as mixing baby formula if there is any downtime, but for the most part let your nanny relax during her downtime.

I know, I know there are many nanny families that think since the nanny is technically on the clock, she should be doing chores since after all, she is in the home. I think this is unfair and inconsiderate.

Cab drivers sometimes need to wait while a client runs an errand or two, they may sit in their taxis reading the paper, but they still get  paid.

Firefighters as well, even when it is an off fire season for them, it's not like they agree to less pay since there is more down time.[/quote]
