[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP Here (the one who was asked to steam clan the floors) - and my employers requested that she take two walks a day and know that she always falls asleep in the stroller for at least 30 minutes of our usual hour and a half hour walks.  They live in an apartment with no yard (obviously) and want her to get fresh air.  We are in Southern California.  [/quote]

NP here.

Personally, for me, I'd interpret child related chores to include anything in the realm of household upkeep that is needed solely because a child is there. (So, all kid laundry and bedding, any additional sanitizing, cleaning child items, etc) I'd consider leaving the house as you found it a bare minimum that should go without saying. And, I'd also agree that leaving these chores for the nanny when common sense would say you should not put it off for a day (e.g., day old bottles in the sink, clothes with excrement, etc) is just nasty. And, that cleaning things the child uses, like floors, that would have to be cleaned regardless falls outside the realm of child related duties.

All that being said, I know that there's no objective truth to my standards, so I think you have to address exactly what you mean in negiotiations.

Personally, with what you expressed, I'd approach it from the standpoint, that the time just doesn't exist to get this all done within the parameters of what the parents want done for their child. If they are at all reasonable, they will understand. Then, I'd sit down and approach an outline of duties that can normally be accomplished, within the time frame of your day, providing the level of childcare they expect, and leaving you with reasonable downtime.
