All of these job titles expect a few common tasks when working. You should always expect to clean up whatever games, activities, or crafts you do with the children while you are there. Also, you should make an effort to do the dishes. Some households have certain rules about washing knives, pots, and pans so ask if you're unsure. Some parents may tell you to only worry about the dishes you use while you are there and that's very nice to have done for the family.
Lets discuss the other job expectations:
- Babysitter - Everything listed above under the common job requirements.
- Nanny - Everything listed above under common job requirements. However, this position is starting to get more involved in giving children baths, driving children to activities, doing laundry for the family, and cooking meals.
- Domestic Manager - Everything listed above as a babysitter and as a nanny. This position again expands to include more tasks. The family who hired me for this position expected me to pack the children for family vacations, cook meals for the family, and assist with other household chores.
