[quote=Anonymous]My husband thinks it's ridiculous that I spend extra time picking up on Sunday evening so the nanny can have a decent place to care for our kids the next morning. Thanks for sharing your perspective from the other side and affirming that my effort is for good reason. Sure, we're paying the person and helping us around the house is part of the job, but I don't think cleaning up after a weekend's worth of family activity is part of the job - you should get a mostly clean slate Monday morning, at least as far as the common areas of the house are concerned. So I try to have an empty sink, dishes cleared, all toys in their proper place, floors swept, and carpets clear for a good start to the week. I just think that any picking up around the house is secondary and I can't guarantee that the kid will be accommodating enough for you to clean up after us for half the day on Monday. You may get busy tending to the baby instead and I don't want the nanny to feel she has to make the baby wait while she does our dishes. [/quote]
