[quote=Anonymous]I've been in my current nanny position for 8 months. When we negotiated job specifics, with regards to household duties other than childcare, MB and DB asked that I take out the garbage, recycling and compost bins from the kitchen to the big bins in the driveway if they are full. I said this has never been part of my official job description as a nanny previously, but in past positions if the bins were filled up during my shift I'd take them out, so I agreed.

It started slowly of course, but I'd show up for more and more of my shifts to find the garbage, recycling, and compost bins full. Not just like, oh they were halfway or 2/3 full when I left the previous day and now they're full. No. I'm talking about, I took all the bins out, and when I left at the end of my shift at 6:30pm they were less than 1/3 full, and when I show up at 7:30am the very next day, they're filled to the top! Nine out of my last ten shifts I've arrived to at least one, if not 2 or 3 of the bins completely full, after having emptied that very same bin the day before.

I'm already responsible for the care of two young children, doing the dishes, all of their laundry, bathing the children, preparing meals from scratch (with recipes from MB), doing the family's grocery shopping, and wiping down the surfaces of the kitchen and keeping the house tidy every day, so walking in and finding that not one more yogurt container will fit in the recycling bin nor one more banana peel into the compost bin is frustrating to say the least. Is there any way to bring up this topic without upsetting MB and DB? I'm otherwise very happy with my NF. Thank you. [/quote]
