[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I currently have a fantastic nanny job that I definitely want to keep.  Aside from being a great nanny to my charge (loving, teaching her, engaging her) - what the the little extras that I might be forgetting?  I am always ten minutes early and never rush out.  My charge's toys and room are always picked up and put away before I leave.  I never leave one dish in the sink.  I have taken over all the ordering for the baby and pretty much the house.  I do the child's grocery shopping and never leave for the weekend without making sure she has enough food.

Anything I might be forgetting?  Anything special that your nanny does that you appreciate (even if it was not in your contract or agreement)?

Thanks!  [/quote]

This is all great and to be expected. Very helpful to the family and beyond the simple "babysitting/playtime nanny" that some nannies plateau at.

I have also worked with the parents to pick 1 or 2 developmental areas per month for each kid and work on those during 1 on 1 quiet time. I also teach the children life skills and explain how and why to do things in the store or house. For example we cook together, fold clothes, put things away, make bday cards. [/quote]
