nannies, housework , pricing and communication.

[sue1386]

what level of housework do you think is fair for a nanny

when does it become cleaning rates

how much of a break , a quiet time, during play or during sleep time do you think if fair for drinks rest lunch snacks for nannies

some people may want alot of care for their children and then housework if the children sleep and i wonder how they think its possible without giving the nanny some down time to catch a bite or drink or recover if its alot of housework and a long day

some peope hire nannies knowing it is a homehelp job with alot of housework

others hardly have 15 minutes of dishes or folding a day.

also number of kids and ages can make it easier or harder

and yet does the price change if one is caring for 3 kids and doing alot of housework?

what would you do if you found the level of housework being demanded too much

eg 4 or more hours a day for a job that wasnt advertised as a homehelp job but as a nannying job but ended up having huge amounts of washing for all members of the family daily, changing beds, hours and hours of ironing, and alot of other housework and cleaning and alot of washing hanging daily.

what would you do if you felt no matter how hard you tried to please them going out of your way in various things , you always seemed to be told to do more or to do something differently.

Sue.
