[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm new to the nanny game, so forgive me if this is ignorant, but is this a feasible job description?

I'm looking for a nanny for my 15 month old son. Hours-7:30 am to 6:00 pm. Responsibilities would include caring for child, housekeeping, and cooking dinner. My son currently naps 3 hours per day.  To ease some of the responsibility, I could cook ahead for my child and leave his meals ready for the nanny. 
I would be willing to pay for the benefit of having one person do it all. [/quote]
You probably won't find someone who nannies, cooks for the whole family AND cleans your house top to bottom at the same time.

However...

You can find a nanny who is amenable to some light housekeeping and light food prep.  When we had a nanny, we also had cleaners every two weeks, and I cooked, but the nanny lightened the load by doing the following:

- vacuuming and straightening up common areas (playroom, dining room, living room), and
 - turning on the oven and sticking in the pan of food I already prepped, like marinated chicken or fish.  I would prepare everything the night before, stick it in the fridge, and tell the nanny, "take this pan out at 5.00, turn the oven to 450 and put this in at 5.30 pm. "  It didn't really add anything to her workload, but it made life easier for us because we came home to a tidy house, a fed child and adult dinner almost ready in the oven. [/quote]
