[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently hired a baby-sitter to watch my three boys. I came home to find she picked up and vacuumed their rooms, did three loads of laundry, cleaned up the kitchen and vacuumed the living room. She was only supposed to watch the boys and she gave my youngest a bath when she wasn’t supposed to. It feels really intrusive, she folded my husbands under wear!!!! I feel offended like she thinks I live in some kind of pigsty. She took out the garbage and then another full bag of garbage from the kids rooms. She didn’t touch the master bath or bathroom, but I don’t know what to think. It feels insulting, like she is better at taking care of my house than I am and trying to prove a point. [/quote]

There are some people who welcome help.  Others find it intrusive or offensive.

My grandmother is the kind of person who walks in to others' home and starts "helping", moving things around, throwing things away, in the name of "cleaning".  It drove my mother nuts.

Now, as a nanny?  I'm very aware that some people welcome that, others do not.

However, I'm also not doing a ton of extra work beyond what is negotiated... anything not for kids is extra cost if required regularly, but I'm happy to do a little occasionally, if my employer is open to it *and* has no expectation that it's part of my job.[/quote]
