[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh good lord, the nannies on this board are ridiculous.  It's no wonder that so many of you end up with no jobs.  [/quote]

I am neither nanny or mb but as a neutral observer, hands down. It is the mb's who are cheap, ridiculous job creepers, leaving dirty dishes, expecting housework from nannies.  I marvel that a nanny would even consider ANY duty that is not child related, including taking care of pets.[/quote]

Thank you! The fact that they can't see that boggles my mind. The entitlement of hiring a person to do one job, but then expecting that they start doing something completely unrelated, and for no extra pay, is just insane. But you can't reason with DCUM MBs. [/quote]

Try having a job in the professional world.  Most job descriptions say and other duties as assigned.  The families needs are changing.  As the kids get older, they don't need constant supervision or they can help in the kitchen.  Cutting up 2 carrots vs. 4 is a minimal time issue.  [/quote]

Nothing has been said about the kids helping.  Most parents don't want their kids helping prepare meals, they want their kids having fun.  Oh, and I'm the PP who said the 2 carrots becomes 4... I cook from scratch, every single meal.  If my NF wanted me to go from making enough for just kids to parents as well, it doubles my prep time and cook time is anywhere from 1.25 to twice what was required before, which is exactly why I said that it takes 1.5-2 times as long when doubling a recipe made from scratch.[/quote]

Also cooking for children is not the same as cooking for adults. Just because a nanny is comfortable making simple meals for your kids doesn't mean she wants to be your chef. It starts with doubling the recipe she makes for the kids, then the recipes get more complicated and involved. Chicken strips and steamed veggies is fine for the kids, but what about when MB decides she wants a scratch made lasagna for dinner? [/quote]
