Ever article of clothing my charge wore during the weekend was on the floor on her bedroom or bathroom; every book she read was on the floor; every toy was out; the kitchen counters were covered with wet dishes (employers didn’t believe in using the dishwasher) and the sink was filled with dirty dishes; my charge’s hair was a rat’s-nest; and there was rarely food or milk for her breakfast.

In my new position the kitchen is spotless; my employers wash the baby’s weekend clothes on Sunday night; there is lots of food for him; and everything is clean and put away. The atmosphere is relaxed and happy! I walk in and focus on the baby and we make his transition (my arrival and parents leaving for work) calm and happy.

I am so lucky to have found these employers!

Shouldn't you do the baby laundry and stuff.

Wow. Just wow.

Parents really take no responsibility.

Parents take a lot of responsibility. But, they are paying for help.

Not on weekends they aren’t!!

I was an Au Pair long ago and thought that cleaning up was the easy part of my day. Greatly enjoyed it- much easier than dealing with the kids. Not sure how I'd feel about it now. Entertaining the kids was the hard part.

What about cleaning up while entertaining children and getting them ready? That’s what Mondays are about.

NP and not a nanny. Not for weekend clothes, etc.
