[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]

Any form of laundry can be a nanny's job if she and her employers agreed upon it in the work contract.  And while I absolutely agree that children must never be neglected in favor of other nonessential tasks, unless her charges don't nap at all, are never in school, and do not play independently for even ten minutes in a day, a nanny will have time to throw in a load of laundry and fold it, and maybe even rinse her and her charges lunch dishes, load the dishwasher, wipe down the counters, etc.  Frankly, even if her charges never nap, never are in school, and do not engage in independent play, a good nanny can still do all of those tasks WITH her charges and make it a learning experience for them.

Of course, if a nanny's charges don't nap at all, are never in school, and it's your position that a nanny should be engaging her charges every second of the day and never allow independent play, then I could see how you'd think a parent would be asking her to "neglect" her charges to engage in "nonessential" tasks.  But then do you also think it's neglect if the nanny checks her phone for any sort of personal call or reason for even a minute, chats with other nannies on the playground, or even takes a bathroom break?  Just taking your position to it's logical conclusion ...[/quote]
