[quote=Anonymous]Just curious what kind of cleaning and tidying most people’s nannies do? I am not at all expecting my nanny to scrub toilets, but she does the very bare minimum to clean up after my kids.

My first nanny would run the dishwasher when it was full and then put the dishes away, take the trash and recycles out when full and clean the kitchen pretty well at the end of each day since she had used it to make the kids dinner. She would also change the kids’ sheets weekly and even proactively wash their duvet covers/blankets. She also did their laundry of course, pretty much daily, and organized their drawers to pull out clothes that no longer fit or were stained. Is that going way above and beyond what should be expected?

New nanny does the kids’ laundry 1-2x per week, makes meals for them and keeps the house tidy looking. While she will put dirty dishes she uses or from the kids in the dishwasher, she never turns it on to run it so I will often come home to a pile of dishes in the sink that don’t fit. I have showed her how to do it and even mentioned for her to turn it on when full but it doesn’t happen. Or, sometimes I will run it in the morning but it doesn’t finish before I have to leave and she never unloads it and piles dirty stuff in the sink. That’s just one example... just trying to see if most nannies are doing much more.[/quote]
