[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3000 sq. ft. house with two housekeepers? What are they doing all day? Is one actually a cook or maid or something? There can't be that much to clean!

Daytime nanny doesn't need a "bedroom," so it's really the night time and weekend nanny who need to work this out with the bosses. [/quote]

It's obviously a made up story. It doesn't take two people 24 hours a day to keep such a tiny house clean, especially when you take out the 500sf nanny area that apparently isn't cleaned by the maids. I grew up in a 6200+ sq. ft. house with no maids that my parents were able to keep clean even though they worked full time, so I find this whole story ridiculous.[/quote]

I worked in a not huge house- about 4500 square feet with 4 nannies (2 on duty at a time), a chef, 1 full time housekeeper, 1 part time housekeeper, driver and a house manager. Honestly they could have used 2 full time housekeepers because the one full time one was always so busy. You would be surprised what kinds of things people can ask their staff to do that takes up a lot of time.

Here are a couple examples of things that take a pretty large chunk of time-

Changing the bedding 2-3 times a week on each bed in the house and sometimes more if the mom decided she wanted clean sheets.  There were 3 children, 2 nannies on duty at all times and the parents, so you do the math.   All bedding then had to be ironed too.

Washing and hanging to dry everything except the children's socks and underwear.  Then everything including underwear had to be ironed as well.  There were 3 washers and dryers in this house and they were almost always going during the day.
