Meals: The Nanny does not cook the three daily meals. The meals are prepared in advance by a cook, by the Parents, or otherwise by a third party. The Nanny arranges for the pre-prepared meals to be served to the child in her care: she places the food in front of the child and warms it as needed using the microwave available in the home. The food is eaten by the one child for whom the Nanny provides care.
Other Domestic Duties: These duties consist of packing the Child for trips, organizing the Child's bedroom when it becomes messy in the course of the Nanny's duties, and assisting with potty training as necessary when the Parents are not home. No special tools, equipment, or materials are required to perform these tasks.
