Can I Ask My Nanny To Do The Dishes?

Posted on by Admin Team

 

Hi everyone! Hope you had a relaxing Thanksgiving 🙂

A common question parents ask me is: “Can I ask my nanny to help with the dishes?”. While it’s not a simple “yes” or “no” question, there are some job duties that are considered standard for a nanny position.

But there are other duties that can move the role more towards a family assistant position. When this happens, the nanny/family assistant will typically ask for a higher hourly rate to account for the additional job duties.

Let’s discuss standard nanny job duties and how to handle dishwashing duties!
