Nanny Responsibilities
OK, so the lady that I work for has had babysitters before, but she’s never had a Nanny before so I have kind of paved the way for her expectations of future nannies… and I’m getting nervous because - I think what I do for her is not industry standard. I’ve mentioned household managers to her and she’s said like “ugh I wish I had someone for that!” But I make online shopping returns for her, and literally whatever else she asks. When she was pregnant and “nesting” I was literally building her furniture…
For context, this is the list she gave me today - water the outdoor flowers, unload the dishwasher, reload the dishwasher, put away the boys laundry, (she has runners on her stairs so no one slips and she wants me to restick them with new stickers?), take out her trash and recycling, and empty the diaper pails.
The tasks I’m describing go above a nanny’s true role, correct, or am I delusional? This feels like one of those “light housekeeping” miscommunications.
