[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such bullshit. This nanny accepted a job that involves laundry and other things for $15. It's not as if she accepted a babysitting job and THEN laundry and other things were piled on.

The woman accepted a job with certain responsibilities for a certain rate. If those responsibilities weren't acceptable to her or the rate wasn't, then she had the free will to reject the offer. She accepted. She should be doing her job. If she's not, OP you should fire her. [/quote]

I think that's what everyone has said. We also said that if this woman is the best that OP could get (a glorified sitter who can't multitask), she might want to reconsider what she is offering, which as it turns out is not attractive offer. She will have better people to choose from if her job is attractive. I'm not sure why that's difficult to understand. An exaggerated example would be trying to get a nanny by offering minimum wage. Yes I'm sure some idiot will accept the job, but that surely doesn't mean they will do it well. Would you be surprised that someone working a minimum wage nanny job isn't spectacular? No, because they probably have limited choices for a reason. Those that can command more wouldn't be interested. OPs job is not spectacular, yet she has high expectations of the person who takes it. She needs to decide if she is okay with a bare minimum kind of sitter, who takes care of the kids, or if all of the other things are similarly important, and she wants a higher quality sitter.
