Yes, how awful that a loyal employer provides reliable and long term employment to a woman who’s flexible on the job description and grateful for the income. It sounds like the employer has locked this lady into their home so she can never leave.
And you sound like a total bozo
The woman who cooks and cleans for you is your housekeeper, not a nanny. Let's just be clear here.
You’re the dope who clearly couldn’t understand the response

I can't fire her. So I just appreciate what she does do - laundry, knows where everything goes, is never late or a no-show, is sweet to my daughter... We have a cleaning company come in for an hour with five cleaners once a week and with the cleaners as well as a great nanny who takes care of managing the house (waiting and paying for cleaning company, ordering all house supplies and grocery shopping for us) on top of doing everything for my child - we are in good shape.
Maybe cut your housekeeper back to one day and hire a cleaning company if you are a wimp like me!
Wow, so you pay a housekeeper to do laundry and pick up clutter, and separately pay a nanny and cleaning service?
I'm not the PP, but I do this. I have four kids, so the nanny used to be too busy to do even kid laundry, and I wanted someone who would also pick up the house, do all laundry, prep meals, run errands, etc.. The nanny is no longer too busy to do kid laundry and make lunches because 3/4 are in school all day, but our housekeeper does a lot more for us, so she still does those things. And we have a weekly cleaning service to deep clean. Nanny is full time, housekeeper is about 25 hours/wk, cleaners are a service -- weekly, couple of hours.

But move on if you want and you don’t need to give her a month’s severance.
We have four kids so we ended up having our nanny do family laundry and grocery shopping and cooking for the kids. Then we have a service that does a deep clean once a week.
So your sitter does your daily housekeeping?
No...
