[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]

Fine, if you work for folks who can afford a butler then by all means cling to the narrowest job description known to man.

As it is, many of us are the only "help" a family has and are not ashamed to run the vaccum while singing silly songs with the kids. Laundry teaches clothing, color, and texture vocabulary - along with sorting. I even prefer to be in charge of organizing the toys and the nursery since I use them the most and can create my own systems. Etc. [/quote]
