[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. I would have said yes to a one time thing but every week ? That's a nightmare.

Your main problem is that you never learned to say no, even after 25 years of nannying. Cooking for the whole family is not ok and doing their laundry either, unless you get extra cash for it and are happy to do it.

They never asked her to!! Nanny did extra tasks of her own choosing. [/quote]

The parents complain they don't have the "time" to do it and we - nannies - end up doing the task to ease their burden.
That's how it's always been unless you learn to not offer your help or say no when asked. And some parents are very manipulative into getting you to do it.[/quote]

These parents are working 8-10+ hours a day on top of being parents, caring for the house and other needs.  YOUR job is to care for the kids and the kids needs.  If its taking kids to medical appointments, that's your job.  Your job is also to cook, clean and do laundry for the kids.  I'm assuming you don't have kids of your own if you think all of this is so easy as a parent when you are working.  Whats the point of a nanny if they aren't going to do these things.[/quote]

Hi I'm a nanny and the family I work for are very strict about sticking to the contract. Medical appointments are the responsibility of parents and they gladly do it. if it is in the contract about such things OP is right to not do it. She said their are other kids this appointment is 3 hours and she has to sit there that long I wouldn't want to do it either and if that get me fired so be it. I read so many complaint on here and some parents want their nanny to perform miracles. If you can hardly manage what makes you think the nanny can.[/quote]
