[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a nanny of a 2yo and a 6 month old. During afternoon nap I straighten the kitchen, wipe down counters, do them kids laundry, sweep and vacuum the areas the kids are in, etc. That is just part of being a nanny in my opinion. that is our job.[/quote]
What do you think a nanny is?[/quote]

What?? As  a nanny it is our job to provide a loving, enriching, educational, safe environment for little one while taking care of tasks related to the children and making the lives of our employer a bit easier.

I guess it depends on what you mean by making the parents' lives easier. For some that might mean a sparkling house. Others may prefer coming home to a healthy 4 year old child who has had a full day with the perfect mix of activities, happy to see her parents, yet ready to dose off at her 7pm bedtime. The parents are glad to relax and have some quiet time to themselves.

I'm not saying nannies can't "be helpful", but I am saying that it's short-sighted to put required daily tasks (unrelated to the child) into the nanny's contract.[/quote]
