[quote=Anonymous]Regarding a nanny doing chores:

I would say it depends on many things. For example, I work a nine hour day. My charge is a yr old and takes one 1-1.5 hr nap during my shift. During that time, I eat my lunch, pick up any toys played with, prepare bottles, wash/sterilize bottles, hand wash dishes (they have no dishwasher), refill water cups and wipe down high chair. Just typical childcare related duties. These chores are very light and do not take too much time so when the baby awakens from his nap, I still have good energy for the second part of our day.

I have had similar positions where during nap times, I was asked to vacuum carpets, load/unload dishwashers, take out garbage, wash/dry/fold/put away laundry, organize drawers/closets/cupboards, etc. and by the time the baby awoke from his nap, I would be exhausted.

I agree that many parents want a "2-for-1" deal. They want a Nanny/Housekeeper. For Nanny services, they should expect the nanny to wash any dishes used as well as pick up any toys played with during her stay. For laundry duties and/or any add'l kitchen duties, they should expect to pay accordingly.[/quote]
