[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, there are a lot of sock puppets on this thread.

Most MBs here and IRL would not require or expect a nanny to do adult laundry or make adult beds. I've never heard of it and I have a lot of experience with both nannies and nanny employers. Does this mean it never happens? No. But it is rare, in spite of the allegedly outraged responses from so called nannies.

That said, it is also rare to think that a nanny is some rare bird who only takes care of children and does research or recharges during three hour naps or preschool attendance. Nannies make a good living for their qualifications and the best ones know that the key to earning the best rates is in being an indispensable key to the running of the household. This means using time to best advantage. Sure, get your downtime, but be ready to find ways to make yourself valuable beyond mere child care. Anyone can watch/entertain a child. A nanny goes above and beyond (and googling worksheets or art projects doesn't count.)

If you don't want to be indispensable, and you only want to play with babies, that's fine, but you won't last much more than a year in a position and eventually, you will be outclassed by more energetic and devoted nannies.

Before you puppets sound off about entitled MBs and all your other nonsense, it isn't unique to nannies to have to go above and beyond to really earn a good salary. This is true in every field. Nannies are just one of the last groups to recognize that.[/quote]

lol - as if she is so concerned about a nanny's long term employment prospects!  Just another MB who gets pushed around in her job and feels impotent in her marriage so she needs to try to push around her nanny.  So tiresome.  [/quote]
