[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why should she have to do anything else?  You need her for the times pre School is closed, sick and vacation
  You pay her for being available exclusively for you not for extra work.

If you don't need her during hours child is in school then she is free to take another job.  You can see the problem this presents as then she will not be available when your child is not in school.[/quote]

16 hours a week is too much down time to be paid fulltime for, so yes, she should take on more duties for the normal weeks when the kids are in school. Sick days and snow days and breaks are a different story and the employer should be cognizant of that and have different expectations on those days. If you do not have a maid/housekeeper or cleaning service, this may, by mutual agreement include household tasks.  A nanny who started with no household tasks may balk at a change in that direction.  If that's the case, there may no longer be a match between the family's needs and the the nanny.  Then you would need to transition to a new nanny, if not now, certainly when all 3 kids are in school full-time.  Some families choose after school care at this point, but if you can afford in home care, it's still better for the children. [/quote]

This is helpful thank you, we do want her to help more with errands, but not cleaning. [/quote]
