[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some parents just like stretching their dollar to the max!!

They assume that since the Nanny is already in the home, that she might as well unload the dishwasher, do the laundry, take out the trash as well as feed Fido.

What these parents do not realize is that by adding household chores, attention is taken away from their precious child.
Even if it is only 1%, that is time that is focused on something else....Not your child.

I hate being distracted by chores.
I hate even using the word since it reminds me of being a child myself ironically.

I hate stressing about making sure I get the laundry finished or the dishes put away before my bosses get home. :([/quote]

This would be reasonable except many nannies who don't want to be "distracted" by chores will prefer to be "distracted" by their phone or their own errands instead. And then claim it does no harm for the child to have to learn independent play while their nanny texts or runs to the grocery store.

OP, sounds like you are taking off virtually all household tasks from your list to have your nanny focus on the child. I don't think it's absolutely necessary to get top-notch care, but you make the right decision for your family. And know you should be able to hold the nanny to very high childcare standards as you are both compensating well and asking for almost no other duties.[/quote]

You are so full of bitter sh*t, PP.  If you have a nanny with a phone issue you hired the wrong nanny.  OP is paying okay - $25 an hour is par for a nanny with a degree but nothing special.  The nanny should take care of everything related to the baby - baby's laundry, cooking for the baby, etc. and nothing more. [/quote]
