[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The people talking about nannies being lazy and not wanting to do something that is not fun are trying to lie to themselves that they aren't lazy asses themselves. If a nanny does it willingly all week long, she is not lazy. But it IS understandable that she doesn't want to clean up after your kids weekend, when it looks like a tornado hit the house sometime after they left on Friday. That is your duty, stop shirking it![/quote]

You seem to lack understanding that you were hired to do a job. The employer can choose to outsource whatever she wants. Its not her duty to launder the clothes the kids wore them on the weekend if she decided to hire a nanny to do laundry.

If you don't want the job, you are free to quit. The reason so many of you are angry is that you have this fantasy of a job that requires no work. You don't quit because you know that its difficult to find another job and even harder to find one that requires little work. This should tell you that work is actually work. As a nanny, your job is to make the families life easier not expect the family to do whatever they can to minimize your workload while they are paying you. [/quote]

Not talking about laundry(which is done 1-2 times a week on set days most likely). Dishes should be done daily. The diaper pail should be emptied whenever and as soon as its full. Same for trash bags. Toys should be out away throughout the day if you're raising responsible children. If you act like a responsible adult, and teach your children to act in same, there should not be a mess on Monday any bigger than any other morning of the week. The reason so many of you are indignant is because you have a fantasy of being supermom,career woman, and socialite in your mind, but in reality you'd like someone to do the real work while you just do the stuff you like but you also don't want to pay/can't afford the people who actually do those things for you, so you hire a nanny(childcare) and try to assign her everything under the sun that isn't fun for you. Your inflated elitist ego thinks that because you are employer you can define your job as whatever you like, and that's true to an extent, but only as much as the market will bear. If your family is pay $15/hour and wants me to do whatever the eff you want at your whim, but another(most) families want me to provide great childcare and leave the house like I found it, also for $15/hour, who do you think I choose to work for? Please put in your next ad explicitly that once hired all duties will be your nanny's SOLE responsibility and that you contribute nothing, and see how many acceptable candidates you get, then see the ungodly rates they quote you.
