[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have to respectfully disagree on your rebuttal post. Any parent who expects her Nanny to not only care for her precious child - but also to do laundry is clearly invested in what she can get from her dollar than caring about how their child is doing while under the Nanny’s care. If I come home from work to a well-cared for, loved + thriving child then that means I have a great Nanny. Determining whether she is worth her weight in gold by rating her chore performance is just wrong. A Nanny is a childcare provider. There is no “standard” where Nannies are expected to do any laundry, for example. Many house cleaners do not do laundry service....why expect the Nanny to? Plus Mother Nature has even determined the logistics for anyone who is in charge to care for a child. Young children are much tougher to properly care for physically since they rely on adults for the majority of their needs. So therefore by nature, younger children tend to nap more which by default gives its caretaker ample opportunity to have an adequate rest before starting up again. To expect your Nanny to utilize nap times for light household duties would be interfering w/Mother Nature. I do agree that your Nanny should wash your baby’s bottles, but only the ones she uses to feed your child. And how do you know that it is guaranteed that your child will continue to nap for three hours every time she is watching him?? You cannot, which is why it doesn’t make any sense to assign daily chores. *Disclaimer: Yes, you are part of the problem OP if you hire a younger Nanny. Anyone w/any common sense knows that the majority of twenty somethings consider their Smartphones their fifth limb.[/quote]
