[quote=Anonymous]Yeahhh, I don't take those jobs because I can't handle the anxiety. I'm very tidy and I don't want to worry that the toddler will find a nail, piece of broken glass, or small coins when my back is turned (all of those things happened to a friend of mine when she worked in conditions similar to yours). You can absolutely say that as the children are adolescents now, a central part of your job is to be teaching them life skills and it's impossible to emphasize organization and cleanliness when the home doesn't reflect those values.. If you really want to keep the position, do a little research on affordable house cleaners and offer her their names and phone numbers when you talk to her. And be prepared to leave; she may not value those character traits but the rest of us know how important they are.[/quote]
