[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here,

Not a troll. We feel as if our nanny'a role has changed now that our daughter is older and off at school. If these things are unreasonable to ask if her, can we cut her pay for the time that she doesn't have to care for our daughter? [/quote]

Your child still has the same needs of a full time caregiver.  Just the specifics of how that job is handled is different.  If she is sick at preschool, who gets her?  If you answer is your nanny, then there is your answer.  If you are willing to leave work, then your family needs are changing and its time to consider if you should even keep the nanny based off of your family's needs.  Maybe your family would be better off with full-time child care.  Reasonable is for her to do everything child related - cleaning, cooking, keeping rooms child related clean.  I don't think its unreasonable to help with minor cleaning, kitchen upkeep, etc. but she is in the home a significant amount of time and should be doing it anyway.  It probably takes her 15-20 minutes to drive to school and another to return.  Then she has to do the trip all over again.  So, it probably leaves her at best an hour or so.  It is wrong to cut her pay.  You stop school before you cut her pay as she didn't sign up for a shift job flexing her availability around yours.  If you cannot afford her and preschool, then that is a separate issue and you will need to choose one.[/quote]
