[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you are overthinking.

But it might be that they do actually value some things that seem unimportant to you, and don't value as much some things that seem more important to you (like the food from scratch issue).

But presumably they are first time parents right?  And they have twins?

Then as a twin mom I can assure that the most important things they need are the flexibility they talk about, and reliability.

So take them at their word, continue to build a good working relationship with them, and try not to overthink.[/quote]

Thanks.  This is helpful.

Criticisms are in the vein of things like asking me to fold clothes differently, asking me to label any time I move thing from one drawer to another (e.g., had to move blankets to the bottom dresser drawer to make room when rotating in larger clothes).  I (almost) never make the same mistake twice, but in general they seem to be very specific and want things according to their system and I feel like I am not always on top of details the way the parents are.  I work 45 hours a week and make $20 per hour.[/quote]

It would super annoy me if a nanny took this type of feedback personally.  You are taking things too personally, OP.[/quote]
