[quote=Anonymous]how do you address situations where you feel like your au pair is doing the bare minimum?

i've talked to our au pair several times and reminded her of things that I would like her to do; for example, wiping up crumbs of the counter after you prepare food, wipe up the table after the kids eat, having her clean up her dishes, and after repeatedly reminding her these things still are not getting done.  Its been 4 months.  at this point I am tired of reminding her.

there are other tasks that i feel like she does the bare minimum on; she's responsible for making the kids beds - she may pull the comforter up but the sheets are left at the foot of the bed crumpled.   toys get left around the house, unless i pick them up.   i've asked her on several occasions to make sure the kids pick up all there toys

i am a neat person, so things like this do matter to  me.    when we interviewed she confirmed that she was neat.

do i just lower my expectations for the next 7 months? or are there other ways to address this. [/quote]
