[quote=Anonymous][quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]OP here I wouldn't say she was lazy, as I said she was great with our daughter,  made sure our daughter had plenty of activity, I was able to go to her with questions.

My friends and coworkers have nannies that do their laundry and vacuum she didn't do that for us.

But I don't think we could go above $20 so looks like we will be looking for someone else.[/quote]

Are you looking for a nanny to care for 3 under 3, do laundry and vacuum? Because if you are seeking that out, you will have a hard time finding someone who does an adequate job of either childcare or cleaning/laundry.[/quote]

Oh good grief, I am so tired of the nannies on this board acting like caring for multiples is so incredibly difficult that you can't do anything else.  Having multiples is hard and can certainly make you crazy some days, but it's also a lot of fun :)

I care for toddler triplets.  Have been with them since they came home from the NICU between 10-14 days old.  In addition to caring for the children I am responsible for children's laundry, menu planning and meal preparation, made all their baby food when they were infants,  prepared and washed a million bottles when they were little, keeping their nursery stocked with diapers/wipes and tidy, pack/unpack for trips, keep up with their clothing and get rid of things they have outgrown, make sure we always have diapers and wipes in stock, quick trips to the grocery store, etc.  While they have a regualar cleaning lady, I've even been known to run the vaccuum cleaner on a week when we were extra messy.

Basically all the same things that almost every nanny I know does.  A good nanny can manage multiple children plus be able to do basic nanny duties like children's laundry.  The key is finding someone who has experience and really knows how to multitask and prioritize.  [/quote]
