[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is very typical for nannies. There was a thread awhile back about favorite things about being a nanny. There were numerous posts about watching Netflix and having downtime. On any posts where an employer asks about tasks, the nannies start posting about organizing clothes and saying it takes 20 minutes to unload a dishwasher. [/quote]
What's "typical" is that you have no clue what a nanny is, or does. But it sure makes you feel warm and fuzzy to think that you do. So unfortunate.[/quote]

Or perhaps--given that nanny work is completely unregulated and has no barriers to entry--it just isn't possible to say what is typical nanny work anymore.  For $19 per hour, and assuming she is in the DC area, OP will be able to find excellent candidates who are willing to take on tasks that are not strictly child-related, or are child-related in the broadest possible sense (i.e. vacuuming and mopping areas used by the kids, preparing meals eaten by the entire family, including the kids).  A few of these people will call themselves nanny/housekeepers or nanny/assistants, but most will simply call themselves nannies.  The key is to work with applicants to identify tasks that are valuable to the family and not offensive to the nanny.  Some hate cleaning but don't mind cooking.  Others like to get out and don't mind grocery shopping, doing errands, or even light work in the garden.  You may not hear from these nannies on this board, because they are busy doing their jobs.[/quote]
