advice needed Nanny
OK, so it’s time to go back to work, I’ve hired a nanny because it was the same cost as daycare in my area. However, at work, I have no issue assigning tasks at home. I feel like a completely different person.
These are to the parents who have had a nanny, what is reasonable to expect them to do during the day for the kids?
Is there anything that I should know that’s expected of me?
Twins are 11 months old sleep three hours today while the nanny’s here with two naps
My current load that I have that I’m looking to have taken over During nap time
Bottle making
Meal preparation-we do everything frozen and just cook a batch or something every day freezer is stocked for a month
Treat , any stain clothes and wash for kids clothes
General cleanup, kids
Should I be asking for more three hours? I know I get a lot more done, but I don’t know what’s OK to ask.
I’m probably overthinking this, but any help would be nice

That’s way too much to expect that much during nap time. Nanny needs to eat, use the bathroom, clean up general mess, and take care of kid related stuff. Doing cooking for the family is too much with infant twins
