[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a lot of work to do with three kids in the house. I think it would be okay-ish (though I personally wouldn't apply for this since the only deep cleaning I want to do is my own, and even then want is a strong word!) if the nanny had free hours in the mornings when the kids were at preschool or something like this, but a bunch of little kids only plays nicely together for so long, so all these chores would take ages to do while the nanny has to go settle all their disputes and needs for water, etc.[/quote] PP here, I didn't even notice the two dogs as well! Three kids at all times, two dogs, all cooking, deep cleaning and keeping the whole house tidy? I don't see this as doable without having to plop the kids in front of the TV.[/quote] Have you ever been a mother?[/quote] No. Your point?[/quote] My point is that it was obvious you were not a mother, as mothers do this all the time. Manage a house and kids, clean up, educate and guide them. Nothing in this job description is that hard and $1600 plus free housing sounds like a great deal.[/quote] Oh please. No mother manages to provide quality care for 3 young kids, care for two dogs and do deep cleaning at the same time. Zero. Many moms may manage a clean house with all of that going on but they are either doing as PPs stated and cleaning while kids are watching tv for hours or their kids are in part-day school or they are working on it after kids are in bed. If nannies dump the kids in front of a tv, they are a bad nanny. We don't get to decide to put the kids in school and if we are up cleaning your toilets after the kids are in bed then you need to be paying overtime. Want to bet these parents are NOT open to compensating fairly for additional hours? Please describe for me your magical mommy technique for getting all of this done simultaneously, with not crutches.[/quote]
