[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm new to the nanny game, so forgive me if this is ignorant, but is this a feasible job description?

I'm looking for a nanny for my 15 month old son. Hours-7:30 am to 6:00 pm. Responsibilities would include caring for child, housekeeping, and cooking dinner. My son currently naps 3 hours per day.  To ease some of the responsibility, I could cook ahead for my child and leave his meals ready for the nanny. 
I would be willing to pay for the benefit of having one person do it all. [/quote]

At this point, no, cooking your dinner isn't a good idea, but the nanny could throw things in the crockpot or prep dinner fixings during nap.  She can also do all child-centered cooking and cleaning (all of his meals, his dishes, his laundry, vacuuming the nursery/bedroom, restocking the changing table and letting you know when to get more supplies, etc).  General housekeeping would be hit or miss (yes to cleaning up the kitchen floor because kid's crumbs go everywhere and it's reasonable to do the whole room instead of just around the highchair, no to dusting your house).

Keep in mind that your son is 15 months, and while he sleeps 3 hours most days, there are days that will be shorter.  You also want her to spend time interactively with him, playing, teaching and taking him different places versus worrying about getting all the housekeeping done and having to stick him in the highchair or pack n play to do it.[/quote]
