[quote=Anonymous]I think it would be so unfair OP that you have been ok with letting your nanny study during nap times thus far and then suddenly you would ask her to do specific chores now. Unless you agreed upon this when she accepted the job, it would be fundamentally wrong of you to change the terms of the job now.

Even though she is studying during nap time, remember she is still working. She is still responsible for those two babies. She has to be there, in your home, away from her own family. She cannot leave at all, she is bound there and must have a listening ear in case anything should arise. There is never a 100% guarantee that those babies will sleep for a few hours. One may have a nightmare, one may be ill, etc. Also, she needs to be alert in case of a fire, an intruder, etc.

What about jobs such as firefighters. When there are no fires and they sit at the stations playing cards? Do their employers complain that they are paying them to do "nothing??" Or the Wal-mart cashiers who are standing around during a slow time...Do they get reprimanded for standing around and getting paid for doing nothing??

Some of these responses make no sense to me. I cannot believe some people actually believe some of their own nonsense. [/quote]
