Can I Ask My Nanny To Do The Dishes?

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!

I’m a nanny & understand nanny perspectives on dish limits but fundamentally it doesn’t help parents that much to just put your own dishes & kid dishes in the dishwasher and leave all the other ones. Talk about dishes & make a daily load or unload of the dishwasher part of the job, and wipe down kitchen countertops. That said, understand that your nanny isn’t there to come in on Monday and clean up a whole weekend of your dirty dishes all over the counter.
