[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. A week's pay is a lot, but good to know. She's great with our son, but she doesn't do anything around the house other than wash his dishes from lunch. [/quote]

Nannies are not maids and the only cleaning she should do is clean up after child while she is in duty.[/quote]

Maybe, but employers usually give bigger bonuses to those employees who go above and beyond.  So nannies who don't lift a finger to help with anything may not hear a complaint, but may not deserve much in the way of bonus either.  Bonus amount should be correlated with the nanny's contribution to the family. [/quote]

No.  Bonus amounts should be correlated with a nanny's contribution to the CHILD.  [/quote]

I hope you have a post-grad degree in a field related to nannying.  Because otherwise you are not contributing that much more by focusing only on the child.  Personally, I find that accomplishing basic household tasks on the job is more beneficial to my charge than having me sit and stare at her, or lead her through guided activities.  Kids are motivated to learn real things that matter to adults, not artificial skills we set up for them.  They learn a lot more about math by cooking than doing a guided activity and so on.[/quote]

I do have a post-grad degree in Early Childhood Development!  I have a decade of preschool teaching experience as well.  My job is my charge.  If you can teach your charges valuable lessons by making the parents bed - go for it - your contribution is still to your charge.  Since my employers have a full time housekeeper, I have to find other ways to teach my charge.   [/quote]
