[quote=Anonymous]What is your current childcare arrangement?
I would caution you a little about not including any child meal prep/ child clean up in the job.  
We recently transitioned from a child care center to a nanny.  I thought as you did, that I wanted them to spend time with my children, not focus on household tasks.  
When my children were in a center, my house stayed clean during the day b/c no one was in it.  I had minimal cleanup to do from hours the kids were home.  Now, they just move from room to room tearing things apart.  Breakfast dishes are sitting on the table, etc.  To come home daily after working to a trashed house is really frustrating.  
If you have an issue about sterilization of bottles you can do that.  I think you are better off, however, as describing the jobs as kid related housekeeping- e.g. picking up toys, preparing simple kid meals and cleaning up after them.  Then you can say 'oh I have a thing about bottle cleaning, so just leave them in the sink.'[/quote]
