[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or, PP, perhaps the "nannies" who find bathing, dressing, and changing kids so taxing they can't throw in a load of laundry just aren't very good at their jobs. Those of us who take our jobs seriously are easily able to multitask and [b]keep the household running smoothly[/b] while also doing everything you mentioned.

Keeping the household running smoothly is [b]not[/b] a nanny's responsibility. Just because she is [i]physically[/i] working [i]in[/i] the home does not mean that she is responsible for running it. This is a common misconception and needs to be addressed.

A nanny's job is childcare.

Anyone remember during the 90's that sitcom called [u]"The Nanny?"[/u]
The family had the nanny focus on the children and care for them. They had a butler do the cleaning, etc.

That is how it is supposed to be.

For those of you who think otherwise, then you have all been brainwashed by your families.

Do not think for a moment that doing laundry is a typical requirement for a nanny.

I am a professional nanny and if I am asked to do laundry, then I make sure I get paid "extra" for it since it is a benefit for the family vs. a "given."  :!: [/quote]

I ask this as a real question.

Do you think parents have been somehow brainwashed by former MB/DB friends? Not maliciously of course, just somewhere along the line the role of "Nanny" changed.

I'm not in complete agreement of your stance, but I do agree that somewhere along the line things changed.

Does that even make sense?

Also, are you saying even just laundry for the child you care for is not Nanny's job?

Thanks![/quote]

I'm an MB and my nanny does the children's laundry because when we first hired her she asked if she could do some extra things around the house for extra money.  We agreed and everyone is happy.  I have lots of friends with nannies and we have never once discussed what their "duties" are.  The only nanny related topic I've ever discussed with my friends is how they found their nanny and sometimes we talk about how wonderful our nanny is with our children.  We don't sit around discussing what everyone's nanny does.[/quote]
