if she's new, then you might as well break her in and get her used to doing some extra things while DS is in school [ Reply | More

especially since she's new -- just get started that way. My nanny runs errands every day, and now that ds is in school part of the time, what else should she be doing? Good to have a relationship with flex [ Reply | More

ITA -- Depends on your relationship. When we hired our nanny, we included folding clean laundry, unloading dishwasher, running errands (picking up dry clng, returning library books) as part of the job. She was absolutely fine with it then and still is. [ Reply | More

op - when we hired her we said your primary responsibility is db but do a few things for us once in a while, on the flip side she gets ALOT of days off. My mom and MIL both like to take db for a day or half days and so far it has happened at least once a week.... [ Reply | More

No.. Although with a 5 month old, I wouldn't ask her to run an errand that would involve taking the subway clear across manhattan to wait in line somewhere for 45 minutes. But anything local like shoe repair, cleaners, store, etc. absolutely fine IMO. [ Reply | More
