| Career nanny here, with plans no having children. Thinking about my own things, I would be angry. I am highly particular and an, “oops, I wasn’t watching closely enough” would infuriate me. But I am able to have nice things because I do not have children. If it is within reach, expect it to be reached one way or another. So do a sweep of your entire home and see what needs to be changed, because 2-3Y/Os are “adventurous”! But I would be honest with the nanny and say that you are very disappointed that this has happened on her watch and that you expect her to be more attentive. |

| That’s why we only have black furniture and keep a can of paint in our garage that matches every wall. Someday I will have the house I dream of but it is post-child. It is just not worth the frustration right now. |

Depending on your kids, it could be as soon as preteen

It depends. I would be annoyed if the nanny made no real efforts to clean it up.
I might also be annoyed if it was such extensive mess that the nanny could not have been paying attention for a really long time. |

Yes things happen and if there’s more than one child, or if one is very hyper, it’s very hard to keep an eye on them!
