[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you expect your babysitter to do the dishes? What about tidy up?

We make dinner and leave it on the table for the kids and babysitter. We have one babysitter who always does the dishes (loafs the dishwasher, puts leftovers in rubber ware in the fridge, wipes down table) and tidies up and another who doesn’t do either. We get to come home from date night and do a half hour of cleaning up. We pay really well. Feels ridiculous that she puts the kids to bed and then sits in a messy room watching tv for hours.  And it’s so annoying to come home to.  Both babysitters are adults.  Are my expectations out of whack?[/quote]
Half an hour for you both to clean up? I doubt it. I also doubt you pay “really well”. [/quote]

Half hour for both of you to clean up equates an hour of her time since she is alone. The babysitter is not your maid. She is there to make sure that an adult is in your house so that your children are not alone at home.  It is a legal requirement. That is her primary purpose. Otherwise, she has no reason to be in your house, once the kids are sleeping and she has cleaned your kitchen.

You sound cheap, entitled and clueless. She is not your nanny. She does not even have to clean the kids dishes.[/quote]
