[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i was a nanny and now i'm a teacher. the idea that a nanny should be creating lesson plans for your child is way outside of the scope of the job, unless you specifically advertise for that service and are paying her for that (probably $40-$50 per hour). as a teacher i don't cook or clean and i get 90 minutes of time designated throughout each day for planning, as well as a guaranteed 50 minute duty free lunch every day. i get free health care, including dental and vision. if you are willing to provide those things for your nanny, then sure, ask for a lesson plan. 
as a nanny, of course we did letters and numbers and things that fall under the umbrella of occupational development. but mostly we just played and i took care of them, because that is the job i was hired for. [/quote]

I guess you found the right job for you; I thought teachers did a lot of planning at home, but it sounds like you get 2 hours and 20 minutes free during the day for lunch and planning.  Sweet.  Our nanny takes pride in having seasonal craft projects for the children and every week there seems to be a theme.  It's not something we require, but I think it allows her to use her creativity and makes the job more than babysitting.  Interesting for the kiddos and I'm not too crafty, so it works well in that regard too.[/quote]
