Yes, she is this. But if you cannot go and pickup your OWN kids yourself, then you NEED someone to do it for you. You could hire a housekeeper that will help with childcare (as in picking them up and making snacks/dinner for them) and all the other tasks you would want done can be done by a housekeeper. Combine the position if you are so concerned about the person doing something every minute they are working.

You call it menial work for the housekeeper, but an after school sitter normally does what yours has been doing... Picking the kids up and taking to activities/home/park, helping with homework if needed (or checking it afterwards), helping to get healthy snacks and make dinner if needed, and do bedtime routine if they stay late enough for that. Doing dishes and some kids laundry is usually welcomed, but not always part of the position. Once you start throwing in organizing all this different stuff, that changes the position.

Also, many people do not like to do this for others since what they might find as useful when organizing, might irk the family and not "work" for them. If you like the way you put your food away in the fridge, me coming along and putting it the way I like to put things is not going to help at all. Once you start to tell the person how to organize it (where you want stuff), then you might as well just do it yourself. If you start doing it the way you want to when you go shopping and put new stuff in the fridge, then you don't need anyone else to organize it for you. Your nanny won't know what items you use all the time and what hasn't been used for 9 months, and this kind of knowledge is needed to organize a fridge to be most beneficial to you.[/quote]
