[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Career nanny here with .2cents. [b]When I started in the nanny business (1994), housework was always included in the pay - thru an agency, 175wk gross, 50hrs, 2 children. It was this way for many MANY years, multiple big cities and states and different size families. I'm talking full on heavy housekeeping plus the day to day stuff that never ends. [/b]
I've come a long way in the nanny industry and while my pay has skyrocketed and my tasks fallen (absolutely no housework is included in my contracts these days other than baby dishes and laundry), I find myself running the sweeper real quick or emptying the dishwasher for a minute, tending the pets, etc, because it just feels...petty to pass by something 10xs a day and ignore it. It's just not how I operate. So all that rambling to say yea I make good money (20$ hr, 1 baby, no housework), I still do far more than my "fair share" and what's "in my contract". 
I enjoy being a nanny, I like serving people and I take pride in having those things collide in a job I was born to do. 
I have never had a family let me go, nor have I ever had to deal with negative references. I am damn good at raising other people's babies and if that means helping out around the house, well I'm pretty damn good at that, too.[/quote]

+1 This description is spot-on for CA. PP, you sound like a great nanny. [/quote]
