Laundry and dishes

[Anonymous]

Parents needs to stop taking advantage of nannies kindness
And nannies needs to voice their concerns without
Being afraid

That's not fair at all for you. Be smart. You should speak up.

Please bring this up. I worked for people like this once and the resentment built.

Are they leaving their mess? Or is it kid clothes and dishes?

Two loads of laundry is not a big deal, especially if it’s infants and toddlers who nap and wear disposable diapers.

The bottles should at least be rinsed over the weekend. How many bottles do they have?! Most families have enough to get through 1 to 2 days. I’ve never seen a family that could skip washing bottles from Friday when the nanny leaves until Monday morning when the nanny gets back. If they just have the bottles left over from Sunday night, overnight into Monday morning, and then an early morning Monday bottle, I wouldn’t consider that a problem. But if they really stocked up on bottles so that they could get through the whole weekend, I would have a discussion with the parents, and I would treat it the same way that I treat an entire sink full of dishes and pans from Friday night through Monday morning.

I agree with you. How parents could left the weekend bottles for nannies on Monday? That's completed disrespectful. Nannies work Monday through Friday period. The weekend stuffs should be handled by families.

Most say don’t start
Some say it is disrespectful

I’ll bring in packages on the step rather than stepping over them, but I’m not bringing them any farther than just inside the front door (unless they’re supplies I ordered for the child, in which case I’d put away the supplies). Why would pots and pans from the weekend be my job? If I have to empty the trash because they left it full, I leave the full bag right next to the trash can; they can take it out themselves.

Its ok to cleanup after the children when you are on duty.
But unaceptable to walk in to filty kitchen or even left your mess behind expecting the nanny to clean after you.
Laundry is simple whenever the basket is full.

I'm a nanny and do all of that because I'm paid to help

My question are do you leave the baby laundry for the weekend to the nanny to wash it on Monday or do you do the baby's laundry during the weekend to have everything clean on Monday. Also, do you clean the baby's breakfast dish before the nanny come if her start time is at 9h30 am?
Thank you

Nanny is responsible for the baby's laundry so I don't even go near that.

Our nanny starts at 8 am and feeds breakfast to the baby. Since we've all been home, I take care of all the dishes. In normal circumstances, she'd take care of the baby breakfast dishes somehow. Tbh, I don't ever think of that.

We do the laundry but leave the breakfast dishes/sippy cups for our nanny.

No, you are not paid to “help”. You’re paid to care for and teach the child/children - not adults.

+1. I can promise you from experience that the more you act like a maid “to help”, the less your employers will respect you regardless of what they’re telling you now. Set boundaries on your job and be a great nanny and not a “helper”.
