[quote=Anonymous]Nanny for 6-7 kids here.  I'm always focused on my charges, but that doesn't mean that I'm controlling every aspect of their days.  I have research to do for tutoring curricula and after school activities, cooking and writing the shopping list, laundry, etc.  Part of my job is to make sure that the kids are competent with everything they may need to know as adults, so we do chores, and all the kids learn how to do things correctly and efficiently.  For all practical purposes, I have the same duties that a SAHM does, with the added duties of tutoring several of the children (SAHM may or may not be capable of tutoring, so may need to outsource).  Yes, I love to play with the kids, but I join whatever they are doing and/or retrieve the supplies from higher shelves so that I can supervise (I store glue, markers and scissors up high so that kids can't make a mess without warning me first).  My job has never been to be their entertainment or keeping them perfectly happy all day.  I'm here to help them learn to deal with the real world and to grow into mature adults who add to the community.[/quote]
