[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe let her know that she can let preschooler watch 15 min of tv while she does a clean sweep of the house.[/quote]

What??? To do these things: "[b]For example, putting trash in the trash can (as opposed to left on counters or the table or the floor), putting dishes in the sink, wiping down sticky surfaces, etc.[/b]"

For heaven's sake, at the very least she should be modeling cleaning up after yourself to the 3.5-year-old. This is not a lot of work.[/quote]

I am a nanny and I do just fine cleaning up after two toddlers and multitasking, but not everyone does.  Sounds to me like the nanny just isn't a naturally tidy or organized person.  That means OP has a choice: get a new nanny with that inherant personality trait or come up with a system that works for this person.  If the problem is that she can't multitask todying up with supervising two kids, then using a few minutes of tv time might give her the time to focus solely on the tidying.[/quote]
