[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am lucky PP that our nanny sees her job as helping us out from time to time. So I do not ask her to sweep the floors but sometimes she does. I do not ask for laundry but she knows it is a huge huge help so she does it. As a result we have worked hard to keep her and are now at 5 yrs and counting with her. [/quote] I'm 20:51. I also do things like that for my boss, but they would never have the audacity to expect it. I take issue with an MB expecting a nanny to step outside of her assigned duties, job description, pay grade, or comfort zone, just because there is time to spare after completing her duties. It's lovely that your nanny does these things without being asked. However, the things that you named also do not take very long to accomplish. My charges can sleep as much as 4 hours in a day. During this time I do their laundry, organize the playroom, prepare their meals, and any other tasks relating to the kids. This takes no more than 45 minutes. I will then tidy up, organize the living areas, sweep and vacuum, and do dishes. Probably 30 minutes of work max. After my lunch, there is still plenty of unfilled time, and I think it's crazy to expect your nanny to fill that time with whatever tickles your fancy. If she's done the things she agreed to do at hiring, and you agreed to pay her to do, you can expect no more. [/quote]
