[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a Nanny and I personally hate the term “chores.” I guess it reminds me so much of being parented myself. How many hours a day does your Nanny work? I generally think caring for an infant as tougher than caring for older children. There are frequent feedings, diaper changes, & it can get pretty grueling entertaining an infant since they have a very short attention span. So during baby’s naps - that is when Nanny rests too. This allows her to be the best she can possibly be for your child. It is common sense for a Nanny to wash any bottles/dishes utilized during her shift as well as have the toys/books/puzzles all picked up & put away prior to her ending her shift. But assigning a Nanny chores is not in the best interest of the Nanny or the child. It only benefits the parents who are trying to stretch their dollar. Doing laundry is a job for the laundress, it is a separate duty entirely. A Nanny’s duties are caring for the child to the best of her abilities. Keeping your child fed, dry, well-rested, clean, safe & happy. Aren’t these things more valuable than an empty diaper pail? Also - - as a final thought.... If you want to have a Nanny who does not use her phone so much, then do not hire a young Nanny. Btw, I wish you only the best in whatever is the final outcome. :)[/quote] OP mentioned that the bottles aren't getting washed. So the "common sense" things you mentioned aren't getting done either.
