Subject: Babysitter (not a nanny) doesn’t do her dinner dishes.
Years ago I shared an apartment with a college friend and It drove me crazy because she left dishes in the sink. I would leave them there with the hope she would get the message but she didn't. One day I just started putting dishes in dishwasher. It saved our friendship and my day wasn't ruined because of dishes left in the sink. There was poetic justice as she has three sons who leave dishes in sink and it drives her crazy.

I agree she should do the dishes w/o being asked, but despite having an RN, she's still 25. 25 year olds aren't known for common sense just yet.

OP here. She’s 25 and an RN. The dish drainer and dish soap are right there if she doesn’t feel comfortable putting them in the dishwasher.
Clearly, this is annoying me!
Doesn't it take you 20 seconds to do yourself? Yes, I know it would also take her that long, but either ask her to do it (politely) or do it yourself. Do you want to be agitated about something this minor?

Not trying to be snarky here (really!!!!) but most of the people who responded to your post sound just about clueless when it comes to babysitting! 🫥
Of course your sitter should do her dishes.
Leaving them in the sink is entirely UNACCEPTABLE!
Anyone who sits for you should pick up any toys used (not applicable here) as well as wash any dishes used during her stay.
It’s just common sense - no rocket science needed.
Especially a R.N. at 25 > who cares for a sleeping child, she should know that leaving her used dishes in the sink is simply unacceptable!!
Are you always this hysterical about total nonissues?
Do you really have so little to do in your daily life that you actually took the time to bold those three parts to supposedly make a point?
Get a job.
An education.
Or a hobby.
Loser.
