I don't have extra tasks aside from childcare. The baby takes 2 naps so I have 3 hours of downtown. I have lunch and then nap for about an hour and after that I read/study. I love my job and love that I don't have any chores  Plus I am paid $21/hour. I am a graduate student and have often nannied for professor families. I've noticed that they don't expect any duties besides childcares. I don't even do the babies laundry.

You sound proud of being paid more than you're worth. They could replace you in a minute for a $15/hour nanny, that would happily do the basic task of baby laundry.

I only work 14 hours/week so my take home pay isn't very high. My MB told me what she wants me to do with those 2-3 hours to myself is to rest, exercise, talk on the phone, whatever will recharge me so that that I am at my most energetic, most patient, and cheeriest for her children. She loves to see me spending that time studying, since she figures it will ease my evening workload and help me get more sleep for the next day. I have worked for 3 different professor/teacher families and they have all had the same expectations for me as my current job. I've also worked for families who expected me to do SO much and I will never work for those families again. I think it all depends on what is expected and agreed upon. Caring for children is tough work...mental as well as physical.

This is hilarious...or would be if it were true. You only work 14 hours. What's that, two days at 7 hrs a day? Three days at 4 and a quarter hours? Let's be generous and say two days at 7 hours. You want us to believe that you need three hours a day to recharge you so you can be cheery, energetic and patient for the four hours you actually work? Not to mention you earn $21/hr for not working almost half your day?

If this were true, you would be the laziest nanny on these boards with the dimmest employers in the world. You would also like us to think there is more than one irresponsible family (because professors don't make a lot of money) who have paid you to do, essentially, nothing.

No. I don't believe it, troll.[/quote]
