[quote=Anonymous]We have had our nanny for a little over a year now and she is wonderful in so many ways, but we have one main issue with her and I am trying to figure out how to get over it. I am not sure if she is just messy or forgetful or both, but it’s clear that despite outlining expectations things are not going to change. I was just cleaning up and organizing our playroom, and found a disgusting dirty Tupperware with half eaten food in it on a chair. I know it’s our nanny’s lunch from one day last week that she clearly forgot to rinse and bring home. She regularly leaves open bags of the kids snacks in our stroller, which is in our garage and attracts animals/critters, so I have repeatedly asked her to be extra careful about not leaving open food around. At least once a week she forgets to take the kids’ lunch bags out of their backpacks and I find them the next morning smelling really bad with old food. Even when she does manage to bring them up and wash them I find them put away not fully clean with food particulars stuck to them (not sure why she is against the dishwasher, but she hand washes everything and does not do a great job at it). It’s honestly really gross and I have to be the one to make sure everything is handled most nights.

On the flip side, she is incredibly warm and engaging and so much fun. She is the nanny always bringing crafts to do with the kids, baking treats with them and organizing tons of activities with other neighborhood kids. But she makes a mess most of the time that I end up dealing with.

If you were in my shoes would you just try to deal with it?[/quote]
