[quote=Anonymous]I don't think there's any standard for what "light housekeeping" actually entails. Both nannies and families tend to be all over the board on what is acceptable. Different people just have different tasks they're comfortable with, so what might be no problem for one nanny becomes a very onerous task for another. This is why it's crucial to very specifically outline what tasks are required during the interview/contracting process. At this point OP, I think you need to have a meeting with your Nanny and discuss honestly what you both want. You might come at it saying "Ok Nanny, as we see it you currently have around X hours/week where DC is napping. The tasks you're currently doing take Y hours/week, which leaves Z hours unaccounted for. What tasks would you propose to accomplish during that time?" [/quote]
