[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If OP is indeed a nanny as she states, the household laundry is NOT her job. You may lookup "nanny". If it's just the children's laundry, she does it when she can. The children must NEVER be neglected in favor of other nonessential tasks.

I'd fire a parent who wanted the nanny to neglect the children.[/quote]

Household laundry is her job if she agreed to that task upon hire. Just b/c some nannies refuse to do household laundry doesn't mean all nannies should strike this from their work agreements. How is folding and putting laundry away neglectful to the children? Unless there are 10 people in this family the laundry shouldn't be terribly time consuming task. At most it takes 10 minutes to fold a load and about the same to put it away. The two don't have to be completed consecutively.

Most of the employers I've had have felt it's essential for the kids to see people (including the parents) engage in household tasks (laundry, dishes, organizing, etc...). This helps the children see that everyone pitches in to keep a household running smoothly. It's also a way to promote independent play within children so that they don't get used to having an adult entertain them during all their waking hours. [/quote]
