I'm extremely grateful for her skill and willingness to be so diligent, but I also consider it part of her job.  Ultimate responsibility rests w/ the parents of course, but if she had refused to participate, comb, pick, shampoo, launder, etc... it would not have sat well with me.  [/quote]

I think the difference is you worked together to get the kids lice free. There's a huge difference between helping your nanny family out with something like that versus being expected to everything by yourself, usually without as much as a thank you. I'm sure your nanny was happy to help since it was a team effort. I wouldn't feel great in a situation if the parents left me literally everything to do and refused to vacuum themselves when they came home, ya know? Come to think of it the only time I ever feel negatively about the family's I work for is when I get the distinct impression standard tasks have been left for me to deal with (like coming in three days a week to overflowing trash in the kitchen, I did it once to be helpful and now DB suddenly refuses to do it at all. Mondays are a gross nightmare). I'd help with lice but if the family got bed bugs or something there'd be a me shaped hole in the door from how fast I ran away[/quote]
