[quote=Anonymous]In my contract it says I must do all laundry related to the children. In all of my other nanny jobs this meant children's clothing only, but my nanny family has taken this to also include all children's linens, including their bedding, bathroom towels, and kitchen linens.

I am fine with washing the children's sheets and towels, that isn't the issue. The issue is the kids use the same white bath and hand towels as the adults in the bathrooms, and the entire family uses identical cloth napkins at every meal, plus they use cloth towels instead of paper towels, so I am washing ALL of the households bath towels and also washing all kitchen towels (6 cloth napkins per day, plus the cloth paper towels and the regular dish towels).

I don't want to complain, it's just that washing the children's bedding and children's bathroom towels was already more than I've done in past positions, when I only did the children's clothes. And then to add on top of that having to do the parents bathroom towels and all of the households kitchen napkins and towels, it adds up to 2 extra loads of laundry every week. I have been doing it without complaint for a while, but we are renegotiating our contract soon and I was wondering if this is considered normal, or if it's something I should ask to be compensated for.

Thank you. [/quote]
