[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Post a very detailed and accurate job description and then interview the candidates who apply. 
We also have young DCs and found a woman who used to be a Housekeeper but lives kids, she’s happy to do everything you described and it’s such a time saver for me. She does childcare, cooking and light cleaning depending on the time of day 
We have a Housekeeper deep clean once a week. 
I think there are some very entitled and bitter caregivers who post here 
There are also parents who misrepresent the job description and then the responsilities creep up

I don't think that the nannies who post here are generally entitled or bitter.  They are not housekeepers and should not be asked to do anything beyond childcare and child-related tasks like cleaning up after their charge or doing the charge's laundry.  You have a wonderful housekeeper who is happy to babysit your children - and that is great - but that is not who I am.  I have a college degree and years of teaching experience as well as years of being a nanny and those who hire me know what they are getting.

To OP - I have known many housekeepers who love kids and would love to babysit from time to time.  Just advertise for a housekeeper and include your list of requirements.  Make sure she has up-to-date CPR and First Aid certification.  [/quote]
