[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My employers are delighted that I like to read childhood developement books and research papers whenever possible. They love having me as their "go to" person for all things related to their child.

They have a cleaning person to clean.

Personally, I can't stoop to being
"Jill of all trades, master of none."

So be careful of going down the path of the cleaning lady, nannies. You may find yourself cleaning the pool and clipping the hedges next. What's a couple more things on your task list?

What the parents don't know is that while "nanny" is "housekeeping", their precious children are dumped in front of the glorious idiot box, so she can get some real work done.

As an MB - I would pay MORE for the nanny who was willing to help out and clean (basically do the tasks I would do if I were a SAHM) than the nanny who read child development books all day. I read the same books, and beyond a certain point, they are all the same or more confusing and I am not willing to pay more or would even pay less if the nanny wasn't able to help with household tasks. I would expect our nanny to be part of the family, and our family would pitch in. I wouldn't treat her like a servant, meaning if stuff didn't done that is fine, but again, we are all busy and stressed and if she has the time to help out a busy family, she is more "valuable" to me than one who isn't  and is snooty about things (which I am not, I work hard even AFTER I get home from work in my house)[/quote]
