[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are just willing to do the absolute minimum you are not a professional nanny and a babysitter.  This is their home.  If they get home late, have to make dinner, shower the kids, homework, and their stuff, they may run out of time or are tired and its ok to leave it a day.  Its absurd to expect the house always spotless and dishwasher unloaded every night.[/quote]

No. You hire a housekeeper. A professional nanny provides care for your children. A housekeeper cleans your house. It’s absurd to pay someone to take care of your kids, then demand they do housework without discussing it first and compensating then for the extra work. [/quote]

Unloading the dishwasher is different from a heavy cleaning and as someone in the household for that many hours, basic helping out should be expected.  You want to scream you are equal to a parent but a parent would take care of those things.  You are working in a home.  Most jobs have duties outside the very specific ones you are hired for.  Professionals do them and don't scream they will not do them as they are professionals or they never get ahead.[/quote]

No its not and you should be hiring a housekeeper if you want housekeeping. If you can’t afford a housekeeper you probably can’t afford a nanny. Basic “helping out” is not part of any nannies job description. You can try to twist it anyway you like but at the end of the day you want a housekeeper who watches your kids at a nanny rate. You don’t want to compensate your nanny for housekeeping duties and you don’t want to pay a housekeeper. You want your cake and to eat it too. I don’t scream anything and idk what being equal to a parent means. A nanny is not your child’s parent nor do they want to be. A nanny comes into your home to provide childcare, which may include cleaning up after your child. That’s what you are paying them for. If you want them to do housekeeping then you pay them extra for that.  [/quote]

I'm a new poster.  I would never hire a nanny like you.  So many entitled nannies on here!  Dealing with the dishes in the kitchen has been a part of the job description of every nanny I have had, none have complained, and we paid standard nanny rates.  Stay at home moms need to do all these things during their day, balancing child stuff with house stuff, so when I am out of the house, I expect the nannies to do the same.  It's not that hard to empty a dishwasher while a 1-2 year old is sitting a few feet away having a snack.[/quote]

Every nanny you’ve had?  How many have you had?!

And it is not in my job description and responsibilities nor is it in OP’s.  If it is in your nannies job descriptions, so be it.  No one is acting entitled.  OP’s question is valid and job-creep is a concern.  [/quote]

Its very entitled to expect a spotless home every morning after parents work 8-12 hours plus commute, plus have to make dinner, bathe, bed and spend time with the kids.  Its absurd one poster expects a family to hire a housekeeper.  You should help keep the rooms clean (at least straighten up and a quick vacuum) every so often as you use the house just as much as the parents do.[/quote]

It’s very entitled to hire a nanny then expect her to do housekeeping. Especially if you’re not going to compensate her adequately. It’s absurd you keep trying to argue that your nanny should do housekeeping. If you want someone to clean your house that is what a housekeeper is for. Either pay for a nanny and housekeeper or pay your nanny an additional wage to do housekeeping. [/quote]
