[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nannies, does it bother you to clean up breakfast or dinner dishes if your MB preps a meal and gets the kids started eating before you got there?  Lately, I have been noticing our date night babysitter is not cleaning up the dinner dishes, and I am wondering if it bothers our regular nanny as well that she has to clean up after the breakfast that I made.  
It's not like I am expecting anyone to scrub pots and pans.  It's typically spaghetti or pizza for dinner and cereal or yogurt and fruit for breakfast.  [/quote]

[b]If the children are eating the meal when I arrive, of course I do the dishes.  It is part of my job.  I will not, however, last long in any job where there are dishes or any mess left over from the day or meal before.  [/quote][/b]

This.

I'm an MB.  I virtually never leave the nanny any of our dishes to clean.  But, if the kids are up early enough that I am giving them b'fast when the nanny gets there, then she finishes that up, including clean-up.  Likewise, if the kids aren't done w/ dinner when I get home then the nanny leaves on time and I handle the dinner clean-up.

Neither of us generate huge messes to clean up and we're both thoughtful and careful about how we leave things.  So it works out just fine.  Sometimes I'm putting a dish in the dishwasher that the nanny used.  Sometimes she's sticking my glass from last night in, etc... but it's fully a two way street.[/quote]

We are the same. I almost never leave dishes for our nanny although sometimes she has started when I'm still doing breakfast. She always cleans those dishes, although I never ask and I would not at all be bothered if she left them. Our nanny doesn't prepare dinner as part of her duties, so those dishes are never an issue. It's my job to clean them.[/quote]
