[quote=Anonymous]It's always challenging when combining certain duties along w/the actual CARE of a young child.

When a Nanny is expected to perform specific duties & have said duties done within a certain time frame, it can be like having more than one job.

A Nanny's primary focus should be on your daughter only and ensuring that she is the sole focus on keeping your daughter safe, well-cared for + engaged while you work.

If she has to have things done in the exact amount of time that it takes you to do the same thing, then that is being unreasonable in my opinion.

Everyone has their own way of doing things and to expert her to do all that you do in the same time frame is not fair to her.

I understand that whatever dishes/cups are dirtied during her shift should be washed as well as any toys/books all picked up prior to your arrival home.
If there are crumbs on the counter or tables, then of course they need to be wiped up, etc.
But pre-treating her clothing is a little much.
So is automatically assuming that she should do other chores.

You sound like you are more focused on the food prep + household duties vs. having a happy, well-cared for daughter.

And truthfully, that makes me very sad for her. :([/quote]
