[quote=Anonymous]Hello all,

I need some advice. I'm working for a family that has three kids under 6 years. I have been with them for six months -- love the kids, love the job...except for one thing.

Their house is a disaster. Not only is it disorganized and cluttered, but it is plain dirty. I have come to work to find dirty diapers on the floor, old food out everywhere, toys covering every surface, cat poop left out for me to clean (presumably). Their floors can be so dirty and sticky that I am loathe to take my sandals off.

I am very type "A" when it comes to being clean and organized. It is against my nature to just leave a mess be. Disorganization and mess stress me out. I realize that not everyone is like this.

Cleaning is not in my job description, and I honestly don't get paid enough, but I end up cleaning in between caring for the kids because the dirt and mess drives me insane.

My question is: am I being crazy about this? Should my work environment, as a nanny, be up to a certain standard? Do I say something?

Thanks in advance.[/quote]
