[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These types of families tend to just rub me the wrong way.

Caring for two young children takes a lot of energy & all of that energy should go toward the child and the child ONLY.

However some families want to maximize their dollar, even if it means that their children get a burned out Nanny in the end.

No chores should be given to someone who has full responsibility for your child.
Besides chores are what kids have to do by parents who assign them.
Chores should not be something an employer delegates to their employee!

Childcare alone includes a lot of cleaning up already.
I would conclude that 50% of caring for any small child includes cleaning up the child AND their messes.

How unfair to add in laundry + other cleaning duties to their list of responsibilities!
Nannies should only be responsible for washing any dishes used during her shift.
As well as picking up any toys, books, etc. that were used during her stay.

You need to talk to your bosses about your plight.
Before you began to burn out & become resentful which would not bode well for a family Nanny.

Well said. The kids either sit in their cribs or in front of an idiot screen while the housekeeper tidies the mess.[/quote]

Yet SAHMs find a way to get it all done during nap time...and cook. Huh. [/quote]
