I unloaded/loaded dishwasher, a few loads of laundry a week, swept the downstairs space 1x a day, sanitized kitchen surface areas, took out trash and recycling as needed, etc. The cleaners came every week and did the dusting, mopping, bathrooms, and other heavier stuff. I was paid well.akd no issues.

Get off your lazy derriere and clean your own house.

OP asked about paying significantly extra for house cleaning, what the eff do you care how she spends her money? Are you some type of communist whose kids use the public health clinics and whose's offended that others may have more?

She is violating the au pair scope of responsibility as well as the law governing au pairs.

She doesn’t have an au pair.

Then you are stuck with explaining everything to them(literally had to write out a hand book) and they get emotional when you tell them what they are doing wrong. I found myself putting their feeling above my child’s well being.

This sums up our au pair experience as well.

OP, why does you house get so dirty? Pick up after yourself.

OP here, why does my house get so dirty? Because I'm a $1,000 an hour lawyer and it's more efficient for me to work than to do housework, jacka*s
