[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny here - Asking her to clean your house and do your laundry is not okay.  BUT!!!  You can ask her to do many other things.  I've been with my nanny family almost 8 years and things have changed over the years.  I do kids laundry, easy errands (post office, dry earners, target), grocery shopping, organization, dishwasher and sweeping kids areas.  If your nanny won't do any of those, get a new nanny because those are reasonable duties.  Do not ask her to clean your house or do YOUR laundry.[/quote]

I disagree. This nanny may not want to clean houses or do laundry and that is totally okay.  However, many nannies do take on these tasks when the kids enter school.  Not every one hates housecleaning of finds it demeaning.  Some people actually like the mindlessness of it, others find it satisfying to care for an entire family instead of just the children, and still others don't particularly love it but love their family and want to stay on even as the job duties evolve.  Bottom line is you can ask anything, just don't attempt to redefine the job unilaterally.  [/quote]
