[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am moving and looking into hiring a nanny and a housekeeper, and I am trying to consider duties for both.  I haven't hired anyone yet, and I want to make sure that everyone is going into this with clear expectations.

I have four children, ages 5, 6, 3, and 1.  In the past, my housekeeper has done the grocery shopping, but starting this fall the older two will be in kindergarten and first grade, and my three year old will be in preschool 10 hours/wk.  I was thinking of asking our nanny to do the grocery shopping once a week during preschool hours.  Obviously, I would provide a list, but I would expect that she could get what she wants to eat and make for the kids lunches.

Also, I would likely have the housekeeper, not the nanny, do all of the laundry.  Laundry for four kids seems like a lot to ask of someone who will also be looking after a 1 y/o and 3 y/o most of the day.

You want her to grocery shop with four brats in tow--something that you can't even do!  When I see any woman with four kids grocery shopping, I know there will be total chaos!  You would have to pay me $100/hr to go through this torture.  All children under age 12 should be banned from grocery stores.
