[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clean up messes made when they're there - yes.  Like putting away toys, putting dishes in the sink, throwing away paper plates, etc.

Anything beyond that, no.  If there were toys on the floor when they got there I don't expect it to be spic and span when I get home.[/quote]

I have had the same issues as OP.

I don't expect them to clean the house, but I do think they should do basic cleaning up for things that involve the kids. At a bare minimum put the dirty dishes in the sink versus leaving them on the table and wrap up/put leftover food in the fridge versus leaving it on the counter for hours. I really don't think that is asking too much or anything beyond the scope of babysitting.

As for cleaning up toys- we've always made our kids clean up their toys so I expect the sitter to make them do that before bed.

We had a sitter who would do things liked to bake brownies with the kids and would leave a huge mess for us to clean up. She was the worst.[/quote]
