[quote=Anonymous]OP: I sure hope you get paid a pretty penny because your workload totally exceeds basic childcare duties.

Are you also being paid add'l duties as a housekeeper?
If not, then yes....You definitely need to apply the brakes here.

It sounds like they have taken all of your little EXTRA duties now as a given & expect you to clean up after both them as well as their children everyday.

As a Nanny, your duty is caring for their child ONLY.
Feeding the child when hungry, keeping the child clean & safe, ensuring the child gets both adequate playtime as well as rest + engaging the child in both education and interactive play.

I do not see why you would be responsible for emptying the family's clean dishes from the dishwasher, taking out the garbage, doing any form of laundry duties & clearing out the kitchen sink.
The only duties you will be responsible for would be to wash up any dishes/bottles used during your shift as well as picking up all the toys/books/puzzles/etc. that were played with during your stay.

Many parents are under the misguided impression that since their Nanny is already in their home, she might as well do the dishes, washing, mopping, etc.

By speaking w/your employers, you will be showing them that you are nobody's fool & that you demand fair treatment from them.[/quote]
