Like, are you asking if she was here before Columbus?

So, no I don't think that you should EXPECT your nanny to do these things, you should present them during the interview as things you wish to have done.
As for lunches, I have also never done this, I have cooked tons of food in my years but never made tomorrows lunch box. I'm sure some of my leftovers have been added to lunch boxes over the years, but not by me.
That's Fn crazy!
I am a professional, and paid as such. I wash kids, cloths and pack their lunches. I am happy to do it. I cannot believe you would expect the parents to do that when they are done working. All you do is play with the kids?
Did you know that parenting is actual work? Do you let them do anything?
No. Being a nanny is actual work. Being a mother is a relationship. Does your mother do your laundry? Is she still your mom?

A nanny's responsibility is to care for the kids, not the home. However, caring for the kids does mean cleaning up after them (or with them, depending on age), helping with their meals and putting the dishes in the dishwasher.
I will say, I've seen ads that are looking for a nanny but also include every other "Mom" chore except for sleeping with the husband. It seems to be the new norm. For that set up I suggest getting a sister-wife and calling it a day (<- sarcasm for those who don't get it).
You care for the kids, you care for their food, clothes and room. That means doing kid laundry, cooking their food and tidying their room(s). I handle mine, you handle the kid's.
What do you do that makes you feel like a mother? Anything?
I didn't have kids to feel like a mom!
