[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a neutral party. A mom who cooks every meal each day for my family. When I have house guests (like my relatives), my cooking time increases because I am cooking larger quantities. [b]Thank you :) [/b]

I understand that the needs of the family is changing.  I think asking the housekeeper to take on extra duties for extra money is the way to go.  Asking the nanny to do more without the additional pay is pretty cheap and exploitative. [b] Thank you :) [/b]

The fact the the MB claims that they are very flexible with the nanny only tells me that they are happy with whatever service the nanny is providing and want to keep her happy.  If they are unhappy with the flexibility that they are providing, they should get another nanny. [b]Agreed[/b]

I think the MB and FB do not have time to do things like cooking.  In such a case, they should ask, if it is worth it for them to pay $40 a week, for having the free time to spend with their kids. [b]Precisely![/b][/quote]

Oh, I like you!  I quite agree with everything you said, but then, I'm a nanny who isn't adverse to taking on extra tasks... for extra money when I have time during the day (and no penalty when there's no time) or when the contract is renegotiated.[/quote]

If you are doing it during your normal work hours, you should not be paid more.   If you are doing it outside of normal hours. Yes. [/quote]

If it's during normal work hours, it's taking time away from what my contract stipulates my position entails.  So, if you want me to do it, either renegotiate the contract (and I will ask for more benefits or money, or a change in duties to allow me to do what you want without taking me away from other duties) or offer extra perks when extra duties are requested on an occasional basis.  I don't take on extra duties for more than two weeks without the contract being changed.[/quote]
