[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you feel about nannies accidentally breaking or damaging something while on duty? Such as a broken wine glass when unloading the dishwasher or ruining a piece of clothing in the laundry. Should nanny offer to replace or reimburse for these items? Is this just a part of having someone working in your home?[/quote]

Broken things happen, laundering things incorrectly does not. But it shouldn't happen continuously, then you have a careless or accident-prone person on your hands.
Everytime Gma and Gpa come over appliances start breaking and things are put away in all sorts of places.  We had to really make them ask before using things in the house, in order to get proper instructions. 
As for sensitive laundry, pull them out and do it themselves.

Our nanny is also terrible at understanding energy efficiency.  All our bills have skyrocketed since she got there - doing rinky dink loads of laundry, leaving lights on, still not understanding how the dryer works, running dishwasher half empty despite being told otherwise. Nothing major, just really question her judgment and if she even cares. [/quote]
