[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious how many employers out there ask their nanny to do some minor household chores, independent of child-related responsibilities.
 I’m thinking of chores like unloading dishwasher, folding laundry, washing an occasional pot left over from dinner the night before.

I ask because the more I talk to other families I get feedback that their nanny helps out a little around the house.

Our current nanny does not. We pay her $20/hr for 1 child (2-something) who naps for a solid 2 hours everyday.

Our nanny is mostly focused on the child.  She will unload the dishwasher (if my oldest forgot his chore from the night before), and once a week she'll vacuum the living room and playroom since this is where the baby spends most of his time.  Otherwise it's child focused.  She of course handles his food and laundry, and his room.

I wouldn't ask her to do much else.

By the way, she will wash an occasional pot but I would never ask nor expect it. I'm fine if the pot sits on the stove for a day and I wash it in the evening. [/quote]
