[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]on a side note tho, i would feel annoyed if i asked my nanny to switch over my laundry (start a load hamper to washer, or washer to dryer) and they told me they were disgusted by this.  i would do it for you if you asked me to![/quote]

I did ALL family laundry, including cloth diapers for 2 kids, in my first job nearly 20 years ago. Maybe I should have picked a better descriptor than "disgusting", but my reasoning is this: I don't want to know if MB prefers thongs or boy shorts, I don't want to know if Db prefers boxers or briefs, and I just don't want to handle someone else's dirty laundry.

That said, if my bosses leave a clean load in the washer, I'll put it in the dryer and then in a laundry basket in their room. I know nannies IRL who won't even do that, so I don't feel like a terrible lazy nanny who, as I believe a PP said, "only wants to do what's fun for me". Trust me, taking the toddler to do full grocery shopping each week is NOT the most fun I could have. But I do it, because it's a part of the job I agreed to do.

I am a little baffled that some PP's would (apparently) not hire a nanny who won't wash their clothes and linens for them. To my mind, that's kind of the LAST thing a parent should care about when it comes to their childcare provider, but...[/quote]
