[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're not all this way OP.  My American nanny (in the US) does cook our dinners, keeps our house extremely tidy, and without asking will do things like wash our towels, take out trash, change sheets on a bed etc.  We never made these part of her job, she just hates sitting around during nap time and does them.

I think there is a two prong problem - one I agree some nannies are crazy about not doing anything that is not nanny - I can't imagine getting away with this at my job or any other.  You do what your company needs of you within reason.

The other though is so many parents here are obsessed that their children are engaged AT. ALL. TIMES.  They would not choose for the nanny to be cooking dinner while the kids entertain themselves in the living room - they want stories to be read, activities planned, on the floor playmates for their kids all day.

It's essential to strike a balance between fulfilling work responsibilities and recognizing the importance of children having independent playtime. While some nannies might need guidance, parents should also appreciate that downtime fosters creativity and self-sufficiency. Finding a middle ground ensures a healthy environment for both nannies and kids.[/quote]
