[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe it's time for the kids to start putting their own clothes away? That would be a good start. The 4 yr old should need help w/ some stuff, but she can certainly put socks and underwear in the drawer along with folded pants and shirts. (The trick is to not have so many clothes that she can't easily just dump them in the drawer. 5 pants and shirts is plenty.) The older kid who's old enough to have homework should be able to put her own clothes away. That would alleviate a big part of your headache.

But I do agree this nanny doesn't sound like she's able to work independently and that's a key trait a nanny needs to have. I hope she is young because I'd hate to think someone would make it into their 30s and beyond needing so much hand holding.[/quote]

NP here.  I get what you are saying, and I have thought this same thing about my own nanny and children.  But it does seem sort of ridiculous to have my 4 y/o do something because the adult in charge can't figure out how to do it.[/quote]
