[quote=Anonymous]I inform the parents, right up front, I don't mind doing none related child items. I normally start at infant age (1-2 months with the parents still home). I will clean bottles, prep bottles, do laundry ( baby and if parents is out in plain site I'll do that too). If the sink is full of dishes I do them. But I also inform the parents that it all gets done as time permits. 
My previous and current families are ok with this. At baby stages, its easy for them to nap a few times a day. Going to toddlers its one long nap. I also make sure its ok with the parents if the toddlers help me with certain tasks. Little 6 month olds love to sit in piles of clean laundry and 1 year olds love to help with anything.

My current families love that I involve the children. And they know that things don't always get done, just like I know on the weekend some things don't get done and will be waiting for the week.

We work as a team, with the family unit, as the most important piece. I am lucky, I have had great families and I can be picky with the families I work for. If we don't gel and see eye to eye, I move on or don't take the job. [/quote]
