[quote=Anonymous]OP, your "nanny" sounds like a slacker to me. I would be leery of the family that recommended her as well. The fact that she came recommended from someone just baffles me. How well do you even know the family that recommended her? I wouldn't take any more recommendations from them for obvious reasons.

Anyway, as a Nanny and/or Babysitter, it is common sense to pick up any toys/messes the children make during our stay as well as wash any dishes used. Most of us in home childcare providers do not need to be told this. Esp. those that make $20/Hr. This woman sounds completely clueless and I would expect more from her as well OP. You should not have to even hint for her to do these things.

As for the other light chores you need, you would have to be direct and clear in explaining exactly what you need done. Clarity is very important in other tasks that not all parents deem necessary for a nanny to complete.

During nap times, I think it is up to her to do as she wants. As long as your children are asleep and the toys are picked up and the dishes are washed, she is entitled to use her I~pad as long as she is within hearing distance of the bedroom(s) in which they are sleeping in. Some parents want the nannies to clean while the kids sleep since they are on the clock, still being paid, but I have had many families who let me do as I like during nap times as long as I keep an ear out for the kids.[/quote]
