[quote=Anonymous]It would be unreasonable for me.

I shower every morning and put on clean clothes. I don't want to change again 30 mins later when I arrive at your house. It not only doubles my laundry but insinuates that you think my home (or just myself) is dirty.

I couldn't be without access to my phone. I have two kids in full time school, one with a life threatening allergy. I have two parents in their 70s that each live alone. I also have my 89 and 92yo grandparents still alive who live together but by themselves. I need to be reachable. I also use my phone for dance party music, directions, making reservations for outings, recipes for cooking/baking, setting up playdates.

Not quite sure about the quiet at nap thing. Since nannies don't get formal breaks and I'm used to working 45-50 hours per week, sometimes I need to call a doctor or other business that is closed outside of my work hours. For example, today I had to have a 10 minutes call with the roofers that are coming to my house tomorrow. I also have to call the post office as I'm missing a package that was marked delivered. Those can only be tended to between 9-5 and I work 8:30-5:30.

Basically, I am a professional, knowledgeable adult with 20 years' experience and a bachelors in child psychology. The nanny market is booming with full time, long term positions that wouldn't have these requirements so there's no reason I'd choose to continue working in that environment.
