[quote=Anonymous]We have had a nanny working for us on a temporary basis. The basic idea was that she was taking this job in hopes of getting a good referral to look for a long term position. Anyway, she's great with the kids but really leaves the house a disaster. I think she is making an effort but is just not a good cleaner. I am not an uptight person and don't expect housekeeping from my nanny and this even bothered me. The references I spoke to before I hired her said largely the same thing. So I can write her a good reference, emphasizing her qualities, but I'm afraid she is going to have trouble keeping a position. Would you talk to her about it? Note that if I had plans to keep her long term, it's something I think I would feel comfortable bringing up and giving her a chance to fix. The current situation is complicated and it's almost like she is doing us a favor, so I was grateful to have her. Thanks in advance. [/quote]
