[quote=Anonymous]OP, this is very much a factor of the nanny's character. Some women are inclined to do as little as possible; some have a built-in work ethic that simply won't allow them to do nothing. This is how we handled it with our nanny when my kids were young. We agreed that she can take an hour-long break during their naps that was entirely hers to do what she wanted. Beyond that, our expectation was that she makes herself useful. I don't much believe in making exhaustive lists for the nanny because the person you really want working for you will simply look around and see things that need doing. Our nanny took care of everything for the child, straightened up the playroom/living room/kitchen, did laundry, made food, looked up things to do etc. I will say that this schedule was for the 9 to 5 nanny. If your nanny works a 10-hr day, I would want a longer break. [/quote]
