[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are just willing to do the absolute minimum you are not a professional nanny and a babysitter.  This is their home.  If they get home late, have to make dinner, shower the kids, homework, and their stuff, they may run out of time or are tired and its ok to leave it a day.  Its absurd to expect the house always spotless and dishwasher unloaded every night.[/quote]

No. You hire a housekeeper. A professional nanny provides care for your children. A housekeeper cleans your house. It’s absurd to pay someone to take care of your kids, then demand they do housework without discussing it first and compensating then for the extra work. [/quote]

Unloading the dishwasher is different from a heavy cleaning and as someone in the household for that many hours, basic helping out should be expected.  You want to scream you are equal to a parent but a parent would take care of those things.  You are working in a home.  Most jobs have duties outside the very specific ones you are hired for.  Professionals do them and don't scream they will not do them as they are professionals or they never get ahead.[/quote]

No its not and you should be hiring a housekeeper if you want housekeeping. If you can’t afford a housekeeper you probably can’t afford a nanny. Basic “helping out” is not part of any nannies job description. You can try to twist it anyway you like but at the end of the day you want a housekeeper who watches your kids at a nanny rate. You don’t want to compensate your nanny for housekeeping duties and you don’t want to pay a housekeeper. You want your cake and to eat it too. I don’t scream anything and idk what being equal to a parent means. A nanny is not your child’s parent nor do they want to be. A nanny comes into your home to provide childcare, which may include cleaning up after your child. That’s what you are paying them for. If you want them to do housekeeping then you pay them extra for that.  [/quote]

I'm a new poster.  I would never hire a nanny like you.  So many entitled nannies on here!  Dealing with the dishes in the kitchen has been a part of the job description of every nanny I have had, none have complained, and [b]we paid standard nanny rates[/b].  Stay at home moms need to do all these things during their day, balancing child stuff with house stuff, so when I am out of the house, I expect the nannies to do the same.  It's not that hard to empty a dishwasher while a 1-2 year old is sitting a few feet away having a snack.[/quote]

The bolded is enough reason that I wouldn’t even set up an interview with you. So don’t you worry, you are not the type of family I would work for and the type I steer far away from. I’m not a stay at home mom, I’m working to provide care for children. If you can’t afford to hire a housekeeper you can not afford to hire me. So many entitled average to low paying families on here who expect a nanny to bend over backwards for them without proper compensation. [/quote]
