[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you that opted to keep paying a typical 45 hour a week nanny once school (8-3) starts, what additional tasks are reasonable to add and which aren't?[/quote]

I agree with PP who said it depends on the nanny.  Our nanny is young, energetic, and loves to cook, so she started doing all our grocery shopping, some of our cooking/food prep, and other errands as needed (taking in kids' clothes that need mending, dropping off donations after we cleaned out toys and clothes, going to the post office to mail things, she even took our dog to the vet once).  We always discussed everything beforehand and I made sure she was ok with whatever task I asked her to do.  She also offered to do some cleaning but I said no.  We already had a maid and it just didn't seem to me like a good idea.  She also loves going for walks when the weather is nice so she'll take our dogs with her sometimes.  She helps me switch out the kids' clothes when the seasons change.  She's helped me buy and wrap presents.  I'm trying to think of what else - anything that I would do but don't have time for I see if she's willing to help with.  It's amazing.  [/quote]
