[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks. She does not currently do any laundry. And is becoming a little more neat because it's important to me, but still doesn't hang up clothes for example when changing the baby. It's a little thing but bugging me. Also, we have pets. I keep things clean, but is it unreasonable to ask her to do light and quick vacuuming in the baby play areas?[/quote]

Agree with PP, that in a share you can only expect so much. Just because your kid sleeps for a certain amount of time, doesn't mean that's how much down time your nanny gets. My charges take a 2 hour afternoon nap. They are staggered by about 15 minutes, so I get about 90 minutes with them both asleep. I then spend about 30 minutes cleaning up from lunch, washing dishes, cleaning the playroom, and any other tasks I have to do like folding their laundry. That leaves 60 minutes. So if everything goes according to schedule what appears to be a 2 hour nap, is only a one hour lunch break. On days where they don't sleep as long, or take longer to get to sleep, I don't even get that. [/quote]
