[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi. We’re thinking about hiring nanny/house manager for 4yo and 18month old toddler. 4yo kid has school in the mornings. I wonder what responsibilities would be okay to ask a nanny to do since our toddler will be home with her all the time. We were thinking meal prep, grocery shopping, running errands, keeping house neat and clean (no deep cleaning but sweep under table after meals etc). DH thinks it may be too much to ask a nanny who is responsible for 18mo all day. We are open to live in position as well.

Can some experience nannies or even families help us figure out pay and maybe adjust responsibilities? This would be our first nanny and we’re very new to this however we would really like to hire this “hybrid” position. Thank yoy[/quote]

Nanny here.  I do all the above and have since I started with my charges as infants.  The way it works is that they help and participate in most of the work.  We make dinner together, clean up our messes together, they help with laundry, etc.

The only stuff that I would not ask for right now is the grocery shopping and errands simply because I would not be taking an unvaccinated child into shops and stores right now.  But I do manage the groceries, I just mostly do it via app.  We have a weekly instacart on monday and then a produce box on thursday.

Another thing to note is that meals need to be simple with little ones.  So when I am supervising young kids, we are making a lot of sheet pan dinners, crock pot meals, etc.  I also don’t serve a ton of meat simply because young kids can’t really follow safe handling practices and I want them to be able to help with meals.[/quote]
