+1. "Pack your diaper bag on Friday"?? for Monday?! The fresh fruit and smoothies I make for my charges would be moldy slime by Monday. NP here and the first poster if definitely not a nanny.

My nanny said that's how her previous house was. I can't imagine leaving our house in such a state.

Literally half the families I've worked for have been like this. They live like adult teenagers; its gross.

Plus, a Nanny is only responsible for messes created during her stay.
There is no way a family should not be cleaning up a mess from time when she wasn’t even present in the Home!!

Your laziness is showing. So with that mentality, the nanny shouldn't wash bottles that were used overnight from feedings? I sure scored big with my nanny then if that's the case. We have three kids under 2 (toddler and infant twins), and our nanny is more than willing to help out our family if we couldn't get to every last dish in the sink before she arrives in the morning.

Wait a second? You're leaving all this crap from the weekend for the nanny who wasn't even there to take care of and she's the one who's lazy???? Seriously?

NP here and the MB/PP here is calling you lazy - not her children's nanny.

I think you missed the entire point of my post but thanks for sharing!

I worked for a family once with a two-year-old and a newborn. At the time, I was working for them part-time and mom was also a stay at home mom. I was there from 9 AM through 2 PM four days a week but I did 90% of all laundry and 70% of all dishes for the entire household, as well as being the only person who ever fed the toddler anything that didn’t come from a box or a jar.

You would be surprised how much a three-day-weekend's worth of clothing is (I don't work on Fridays)- my MB always has new clothes for her that need to be washed and she changes outfits a couple times each weekend day as well as all her towels. And I use my diaper bag for another weekend nanny job so I can't restock it before Monday.

But thank you for responding.

Mine had reflux and went through multiple outfits a day. Baby clothes are small. No big deal.

So what? An extra load of laundry is an added wrinkle in Monday mornings.

I had an MB/DB who left a pooped on baby carrier from Friday night to Monday morning for me to wash. The entire house smelled like poop when I got in on Monday morning. The diarrhea was caked and dried in the cracks of the carrier.

I left that job within a matter of weeks.

[/b]Mondays are so tough! It seems like families make the most laundry on the weekends lol. I, too, struggle with trying to find the time to get EVERYTHING done on Mondays when there is so much to do, yet so little time. I've learned to take everything in doses. I do what I can on Monday, and I return on Tuesday to complete where I left off. It is sometimes impossible to complete all duties in one day. Take it easy on yourself, and remember there is ALWAYS tomorrow Best of luck to you!

Yikes I can't imagine this as an MB! I run around trying to get stuff cleaned up so our nanny can come into a clean house and have a fresh start every week. I'm sure there are other things we do that are annoying but leaving a mess for someone else is just disrespectful.
