[quote=Anonymous]I wish people understand that a nanny is a child caregiver, not a housekeeper or personal assistant; it is also a difference between a nanny and a household manager. Your job as a nanny is to do all (or most) things related to the child! Taking out the trash shouldn’t be a requirement- that is a job for the parents unless it’s a bag full of diapers. Emptying the dishwasher is a choice but I will take out the child’s things and put it away- I mostly wash the dishes by hand. If I’m heading out the door and there’s mail on the floor, of course I’ll pick it up- that’s just lazy to step over it, especially if the parents are away working or in a different part of the house and haven’t seen the mail on the floor. If you make a mess, you should absolutely clean up after yourself, but in no way would I ever agree to deep cleaning a stove. My profession is childcare, I don’t provide a cleaning service. The same goes with asking a nanny to wash your clothes- they aren’t your personal assistant and if they choose to do these things, please pay them a separate fee for this. I am all about helping families and making their lives easier when it come to their child(ren). [/quote]
