My MH's job has changed as she used to look after my ds while I worked p/t from home as well as some light domestic stuff - unstack dishwasher, wipe surfaces in kitchen, sweeping & mopping kitchen, making the odd sarnie and ironing my DH's shirts.

I'm now on maternity leave - and have a new baby. Grin
I have been keeping her on at her same hours so I can go back after maternity leave.

Just wondering what other tasks I can reasonably give her to make my day easier?

putting laundry in the machine.
hanging out laundry to dry.
stripping beds, making the beds.

Probably best to ask her what things she would be happy doing. Maybe she would like a combination of doing domestic stuff and some childcare.
