[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the above.  Nothing will ever be spelled out in any contract in any business 100%.  Treating a stain on a child's clothing that was made by the nanny when she was feeding him is simple common sense.  In the law profession it is called, "the spirit of the agreement".  You clean up spilled food and that isn't in the contract either.  [/quote]

Cleaning up after the children usually is in the contract, so that covers spilled food. You could say it covers treating stains I suppose, but contract are always up for interpretation, and it sounds like OPs nanny drew a hard line at laundry duties, and she is choosing to hold firm to that line. The "spirit of the agreement" trope is how a lot of nannies end up doing things they never wanted or agreed to do. [/quote]

Not really.  There is always commons sense as a PP mentioned.  This is simple common sense.  [/quote]

Never said it wasn't common sense. I said she has a right to refuse based on the agreement she made when she took the job. She said no laundry, and she's sticking to it. Of course she's being silly, but it doesn't change the facts. Disagreeing with her choice doesn't change the facts. [/quote]

NP here and I agree with the earlier posters who felt it was covered under general cleaning up after meals.  Nothing will ever be 100% covered in any agreement.  In this case, one party feels that spraying stained clothing is part of cleaning up after meals while the other party considers it laundry.  I agree with the former, obviously, and as a nanny this is not the hill I would ever die on.  [/quote]
