[quote=Anonymous]We negotiated light housework when we hired our nanny which included dishwasher and laundry. However, I have never once left dirty dishes in the sink at the start of the morning - we clean up at night and run the dishwasher. She then unloads it in the morning and re-loads it with breakfast and lunch dishes. As for laundry, I also try to start laundry first thing in the morning when I am here, so she can deal with it during nap time (rather than having to try to cram it in when the kids are awake). I think it's mostly about mutual respect - do you feel your family respects you? I respect my nanny and her work ethic and love the relationship she has with my children. That said, I have definitely left a dirty pot in the sink and she's left it for me at the end of the day (no biggie, not her job) and she's left me messes that she ran out of time to clean up (found basement playroom a mess on Saturday right before a play date) - all of that said, it's the exception not the rule and that's just life. . .
