[quote=Anonymous]I am the beginning poster. Thought I would update again. They have decided to stop taking your 30 min lunch break but everything else will remain the same. The father kept mentioning that the additional tasks aren't punative (his wording) but I am 100% sure it is. There reasoning is they dont want to pay for hours where I am not doing a task. Here is the task list.

Daily:
 
o    Sweep and vacuum all areas where children play to include:
o    Kitchen Floor
o    Kitchen Rug (this would be a good area for babyproofing) 
o    Dining Room Floor (the children don't play in the dining room) 
o    Welcome Rug
o    Living Room (the children play minimally in the living room this is also where Miyako works throughout the day I would be amendable to dry mopping for dust bunnies once per week) 
o    Nursery
o    Basement Floor (another area to consider for babyproofing before I am in charge of cleaning it daily)
o    Basement Rug
o    Under Furniture such as coffee tables, couches, kitchen island, bottom of refrigerator, crib, dressers, etc.
o    Wash, Dry, and put away all of the children’s dishes to include:
o    Spoons
o    Containers
o    Bottles
o    Ice Trays
o    Freezer Bags
o    Bibs
o    Breast Pump parts (Machine parts and storage bottles
o    Dishes utilized to cook or create baby food (i.e. food processors, knives, spatulas, cutting boards, and the like)
o    Surfaces where baby food is made
o    Sanitize and put away all of the children’s toys when they are not in use to include but not limited to anything the children have or may put in their mouths:
o    Toys
o    Books
o    Flash cards
o    Instruments
o    Baby proof corners of coffee table
o    Stuffed animals
o    Wipe down, vacuum, and sanitize any and all places where children spend time to include but not limited to:
o    High chairs
o    High chair tables
o    Entertainment Centers (Piano table, activity chairs, block tower)
o    Bouncy Chair
o    Couches
o    Nursing chair
o    Make sure Baby supplies are reset
o    Diapers in Nursery
o    Diapers in basement
o    Wipes Warmer
o    Make sure Diaper Genie is not full (daily)
 
Other Tasks:
 
o    Children’s Laundry – Weekly and as needed
o    Change of bed linens – Weekly and as needed
o    Dusting of all areas where children spend time – weekly (This isn't considered light housekeeping) 
o    Dining Room(children don't spend time here at all) 
o    Living Room
o    Basement (children spend minimally time here)
o    Nursery
o    Clean baby’s tub – 2xweekly
o    Bath toys
o    Clean up all Dust Bunnies anywhere children might find them - weekly (this isn't considered light housekeeping.

In addition to that I make all the baby food. Give one child a bath and do other misc stuff that isn't on the list. When it was just there child and I had downtime I was careful to not take advantage and essentially became the mothers personal assistant. I researched crop shares, made appointments, ran errands, got quoted for work that needed to be done in the house allll proactive without complaint without needing to be led by the hand. Super disappointed that I agree to a nanny share to help them save money and this is the end result. [/quote]
