[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. I read pediatric medical journals when child naps. I do the other stuff before hand. MB is a MD.[/quote]
Thank you.[/quote]
 Because I am meticulous in every way, I leave my work place at least as tidy as I found it, if not more so. I just would not allow housekeeping duties to become part of my written agreement. Every reference will vouch for how I perform my work.

Imagine your hiring an administrative assistant. You spell out the tasks, but would you really add on, "by the way I want my Starbucks latte every morning at 10:30 sharp"? I don't know about you, but if I were her, I'd politely write you off. On the other hand, if she is a good and conscientious person, she will do her best to see to it that you get that drink, as soon as she learns how much you would appreciate it.

Sometimes it's all a matter of how you present yourself. At least with me. When you hire a professional, you need to have professional standards. That's what you're paying for, hopefully.

If the person hiring an admin assistant was desirable or famous enough, you'd have people lining up around the block to bring you lattes as many time as you like, at the schedule of your choosing. Don't be ridiculous.  [/quote]
So which Kennedy do you think you are?[/quote]
