Chef, Nanny or Housekeeper?
Our executive producer recently blogged about a really thought-provoking question. She asked, "what would you do if you won a lot of money? If you could hire one full-time staff member would it be a chef, nanny or housekeeper?" She answered, "hands down for me it would be the housekeeper. That would give me more time to cook and be with my kids. It is fun to dream".
What would you choose?
For me - it would be hard to pass up a full-time housekeeper -- someone to do the laundry especially! I swear doing laundry has become a second job for me, particularly now with soccer, baseball and outside play in full swing. About the nanny -- I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with that (now that my kids are a little older), simply because I want to be spending time with my kids (most of the time anyway). Now I'm thinking about a full-time cook -- someone to pack lunches, prepare breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. That's starting to really appeal to me. I would really enjoy it if my full-time chef would also do the meal planning, grocery shopping and clean up after every meal and snack. I think a chef would also help us all eat healthy. I love the idea of coming home to a house that smells like dinner is already cooking and I'm not lifting a finger. Of course, the chef I hire will be able to make gourmet meals, birthday cakes and breakfast in bed, too! Now I'm really dreaming....
I think at this point in my life I'm going with the chef. What do you think? I'd love to hear from you!
