[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When we were in that situation, we had a discussion with our nanny about what else she would be willing to do. We have a maid, and I didn't want her doing our housekeeping, but she is a great cook and was willing to do our grocery shopping as well as a lot of our food prep and cooking. She has also run other errands for me (i.e. taking things to the post office, picking up prescriptions, dropping clothes at the dry cleaner). I also have her do things around the house, like help switch out the kids' clothes when the season changes, organize toys and determine which ones to get rid of, etc. She is definitely not busy for all of the down time, and we've just acknowledged that we will be paying her for hours when she is watching TV at our house and no one is there. Our nanny is young (27), doesn't have kids, has her own car, and was born and raised in Northern VA. I'm not sure what your nanny is like and what she'd be willing or able to do, but I would ask to see what she's interested in.[/quote] His is what I did, as a nanny. Picked up groceries, ran small errands, started the crockpot, kept kids clothes and toys organized and up to date. I also did laundry during this time and prepped kids food and projects. [/quote]
