I'm curious where you live. In my area, a "nanny" is exclusively or childcare (and well paid, including Social Security and Unemployment premiums), with no meal prep or laundry. We "cleaned the house for the nanny" to avoid embarrassment. Honestly it felt more like we were charitable sponsors to an underemployed youth (in exchange for having someone fulfill the obligation of keeping the toddler accompanied) than we were hiring an employee.
It's a far cry from the do-everything (and possibly cash-under-the-table) servant help I've seen in the past/elsewhere.
- brightball 8y agoWe started out with childcare only and then after she'd been there for about a month offered a $2 / hr increase if she was up for the load of laundry + dishes. I live in the Greenville, SC area and we went through a local screening and hiring service here that also helps people find baby sitters.
