[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the reason that some of the nannies on here finger point at the nannies who don't do any chores is because they are [i]secretly[/i] envious that they don't have their jobs. Who wouldn't??

Caring for young children is a [b]huge[/b] job in itself. Preparing meals, feeding meals, changing diapers, potty training, bathing children, dressing children, supervising children, keeping them entertained, educated, clean, well-rested, happy and safe is physically, mentally and emotionally draining....But rewarding as well (!) To add cooking, cleaning, laundry and shopping duties as well as pet care on top of that is just slavery in my opinion.

I currently care for a one yr. old and while he naps I do the common sense things like pick up his toys, wash the dishes/bottles I used for his meals/drinks as well as eat my lunch. Sometimes he naps for a few hours and I can rest too or read a few chapters in a book. Or sometimes he will only sleep an hour because he has a poopy diaper so I have little downtime. It's all par for the course.

The parents understand that I am there to [i]care[/i] for their child.
If they need driving duties, they can hire a chauffeur.
For cleaning duties, a maid.
For laundry duties, a laundress.
For cooking duties, a private chef.
To organize the closets, they can call a professional organizer.

The reason I was hired is to provide childcare.  :thumbup: [/quote]
If you are a nanny who refuses to drive her charge, your usefulness to the family will be pretty short-lived.  Oh well, there are infants born every minute.  Non-driving nannies who don't even do their charge's laundry are pretty low on the totem pole of nanny hierarchy.[/quote]
